RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HEZ ALL ROCK (8) recorded a sharp mile rate of 1.54.3 when he scored at Melton three starts ago and followed with a second behind Bettor Isolate in a strong race at Horsham. He has the perfect trailing draw behind MAXNJAX (1) and will be hard to hold out in the run to the finish. MAXNJAX (1) has the lowest number on the National Ratings scale in this race but he is a smart horse and is not to be underestimated. He produced a strong finish to win at Geelong then made up a lot of ground at his latest fourth. UBETTA KNOT (6) is a fast beginner and used a lot of energy in the early stages before trailing the leader when a handy fourth behind Let Her Roll last outing. She is likely to go forward at the start again and is not without a chance. CLEAR LEFT (2) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and TALLARAS SHADOW (5) possesses a powerful finishing burst. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 2,6 RATINGS: 1,8/ 2,6/ 5
