RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BULLAPARK BENO (7) continues to race in good form and deserves to break through for a win. He worked hard when third at Bendigo two starts ago then followed with a third behind the smart trotter Alrighty. He is versatile and should go well despite the wide draw. WATTS UP THE HILL (8) won easily at his debut after he sprinted quickly from midfield. He is stepping up in class and is poorly drawn but he is a quality horse and is worth thought again. STARLIGHT RED (3) tried to sustain a long run out three horses wide from the 700m when a game second behind Van Doren at Shepparton last outing. She is racing in peak form and looms as one of the leading chances again. ALFIE ALWAYS (4) is a fast beginner and performs best when he is able to lead. He commenced from the handicap of 20m and worked hard to find the lead when fourth behind Prohibited Bid last outing. He switches to the mobile conditions now and is worth an investment. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 2,4,7 RATINGS: 7,8/ 3/ 4/ 2,9
