RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: RANGER RICK (6) is a fast beginner and has been racing at Metropolitan level so he should give a bold showing under these conditions. He led out then took cover when he scored at Hamilton three starts ago. DANCE AFFAIR (8) will also drop back in class for this assignment and was placed behind the top mare Sweet Ideal four starts ago. He drew on the outside of the second line and endured a wide trip so he has excuses last outing. ROSBERG (4) began very quickly to find the lead and ran along at a genuine tempo when he scored in a mile of 1.55.5 at Geelong last outing. He is drawn to obtain a forward position at the start and has winning claims again. AMPHIJET (2) settled in the second half of the field and finished off well for second at Kilmore. This is a race of more depth but he is drawn to receive every chance so he warrants consideration. EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 2,6 RATINGS: 6,8/ 4/ 2/ 9
