Race comment
OVERVIEW: CALEXICO (4) performed extremely well at the trials prior to a creditable fourth behind Forty Love at Melton. He is much better drawn for this assignment and his overall form is strong so he should prove hard to beat. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (2) began fast and was looking for the lead but broke stride shortly after the start and lost his chance last week. He is a good chance of finding the lead from his handy draw here and he will take catching. JACCKA CONNOR (1) finished very quickly via the sprint lane when an eye-catching fourth two weeks ago. He failed to run on as expected when seventh last week but he is ideally drawn to suit his racing pattern so he rates as a value hope. NO NOTTHEBUTTONS (8) returns from a South Australian campaign and has the ability to show up if he gains the right luck in running. ALOT LIKE LOUIE (10) met a very strong field when unplaced behind Some American last outing. He boasts very consistent form and must be considered as a winning chance. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 3,4,6 RATINGS: 4/ 2/ 1,8,10/ 9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: CALEXICO (4) performed extremely well at the trials prior to a creditable fourth behind Forty Love at Melton. He is much better drawn for this assignment and his overall form is strong so he should prove hard to beat. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (2) began fast and was looking for the lead but broke stride shortly after the start and lost his chance last week. He is a good chance of finding the lead from his handy draw here and he will take catching. JACCKA CONNOR (1) finished very quickly via the sprint lane when an eye-catching fourth two weeks ago. He failed to run on as expected when seventh last week but he is ideally drawn to suit his racing pattern so he rates as a value hope. NO NOTTHEBUTTONS (8) returns from a South Australian campaign and has the ability to show up if he gains the right luck in running. ALOT LIKE LOUIE (10) met a very strong field when unplaced behind Some American last outing. He boasts very consistent form and must be considered as a winning chance.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: CALEXICO (4) performed extremely well at the trials prior to a creditable fourth behind Forty Love at Melton. He is much better drawn for this assignment and his overall form is strong so he should prove hard to beat. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (2) began fast and was looking for the lead but broke stride shortly after the start and lost his chance last week. He is a good chance of finding the lead from his handy draw here and he will take catching. JACCKA CONNOR (1) finished very quickly via the sprint lane when an eye-catching fourth two weeks ago. He failed to run on as expected when seventh last week but he is ideally drawn to suit his racing pattern so he rates as a value hope. NO NOTTHEBUTTONS (8) returns from a South Australian campaign and has the ability to show up if he gains the right luck in running. ALOT LIKE LOUIE (10) met a very strong field when unplaced behind Some American last outing. He boasts very consistent form and must be considered as a winning chance. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 3,4,6 RATINGS: 4/ 2/ 1,8,10/ 9
