RACE COMMENT

Placed in three of his five career starts, DRAMAS (5) was fired up in front here last week and faded into third when 7m astern of the winner. Beaten a blister here three starts back, he can look for a forward position to stake claim to victory. LUCKY LUDA (2) is still chasing the elusive maiden breaking win after placing in three of her four career starts. Runner-up last time out from the pocket trail, the start prior she was buried in the run from inside the second line. Settling handy can see her throw it down in this. TARANTULA TOM (9) started from gate 1 last start at Redcliffe and in a race with plenty of early action, faded over the closing stages. Runner-up in his only appearance here, he has claims. NIGHT NEEDS (4) should appreciate the return to maiden company after tackling the APG Series where he was down the line behind the talented FIRE AND PASSION.
