RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: JILLIBY BALLERINI (10) is making her standing start debut but she has been in outstanding form and will take beating if she begins safely. She finished off in outstanding final sectionals when she scored by a large margin at Melton last outing. The Inter Dominion champion ARCEE PHOENIX (11) commenced from a handicap of 30m and couldn’t work into the race when sixth in the Menangle Cup. He should strip fitter from that performance and he is clearly the class runner of the field so he must be given another chance. DEREK THE JET (9) is resuming since winning the Need For Speed Prince in October 2024. He remains undefeated in nine starts and will be reaching his peak form after having three recent trials, the latest being a victory at Cobram, so he must be respected. REMUS PHOENIX (5) and KEAYANG STUKA (7) are both racing well enough to finish and HOPPY (2) is facing his toughest test but is suited to competing from the standing start.   EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible early leader), 6,7 RATINGS: 10,11/ 5,9/ 7/ 2
