RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: RUBYS DREAM (9) is shooting for six wins in succession and was a convincing winner of her heat in a mile rate of 1.57.7 so she is likely to attract plenty of support. MEGA SPUR (10) has won three of her past four starts and finished off best after trailing into the race nicely behind KEAYANG TWEETYBIRD (12) at her heat success. She should give another bold showing under these conditions. ALDEBARAN BROOKE (11) began briskly from the handicap of 20m, worked to the front and ran along at a very genuine tempo when she scored at Maryborough last outing. She worked hard to lead when fourth in the fastest heat of this series prior and looms as one of the leading chances again. KEAYANG TWEETYBIRD (12) was narrowly defeated after being out three horses wide for the last 600m when resuming and should strip fitter from the run so she cannot be left out of calculations. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 1,4 RATINGS: 9/ 10/ 11,12/ 6/ 5,7
