RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CATCH A WAVE (2) produced a massive performance to come from last in a sensational last half of 53.8 seconds to win at Melton two starts ago then made ground but couldn’t replicate the performance at his latest seventh. He is much better drawn for this assignment and he is the class runner of the field so he will take beating. WAR DAN BUDDY (9) finished off strongly when a game second behind Horn Player at Melton last outing. He is a maintaining a consistent form line and has the perfect trailing draw so he must be respected. SAHARA BREEZE (5) enjoyed the perfect trip behind the leader when third last week but the final quarter was run in an extremely quick 26.5 seconds and she held her ground so there was nothing wrong with her performance. She won at her previous three attempts so she must be respected. TRIPLE EIGHT (3), HES FROM HEAVEN (6) and DANGEROUS (8) are all worth thought in multiple combinations. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 1,6 RATINGS: 2/ 5,9/ 6/ 8/ 3
