RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LUVA SCRAP (4) has raced against much stronger company and looks well placed here third up, though has struggled to win over the distance. Gets another chance here. Expect a strong showing. GIVE DAVE A WAVE (6) honest type that is never far away and is amongst the main chances. STRAPPING RED (3) going better than his figure form reads and looks suited. Definite chance. CLASSY OPERATOR (5) very capable of better than his figure form reads. Not hopeless, must include in the wider exotics. ISOLATION (2) won well two starts ago and draws well here. Has early speed and can race handy. Has claims. MAJOR BERT (1) beaten by a good pacer last start and draws well again here. Sure to get every chance. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3,4,5,6 RATINGS: 4/ 6/ 3/ 5/ 2/ 1
