RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: JACKS ULTIMATE FURY (1) was resuming since an unplaced effort in the Queensland Derby when he led throughout to win at Wagga in a mile rate of 1.52.9. He is ideally drawn and should prove hard to beat again. ITS CONFIDENTIAL (8) was runner up behind JACKS ULTIMATE FURY (1) last week after trailing the leader and he is drawn to gain the same trip so he is worth a ticket each way. STORMS COLLIDE (3) remains undefeated in three starts since resuming and he zipped home in a sizzling final half of 54.9 seconds at his latest victory. He is drawn to obtain a prominent position again and should make his presence felt. FORTY LOVE (6) won two races at Melton prior to a big third behind Diamond Eclipse, where he endured a tough run in 1.52.2. He is drawn to endure another wide trip but he is racing too well to dismiss. MEDINA (2) is undefeated from five starts, RUFF NUT (4) has been in winning form and CIGANO (9) boasts a very impressive strike rate so it is a race of top quality. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 2,3,4,6,7 RATINGS: 1/ 3,6,8/ 9/ 2,4
