RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: INTERPRETATION (12) pushed forward to find the lead and scored comfortably at Shepparton last outing. She is even more effective when coming from off the speed and this is a race of similar standard so she must be respected. JINDALEA JACK (6) showed brilliant early pace to find the lead and fought on fairly well for second at Kilmore on September 25. He has improved with each run since resuming from a break and should give another forward showing. OUTA THE BLUE (7) was driven aggressively to find the lead and was run down on the line when a close third at Bendigo two starts ago. She is poorly drawn but has the ability to figure in the finish. MY BELLA (9) and IMPEACHED (11) are both worth thought in multiple combinations. EARLY SPEED: 6 (likely leader), 1,3,5 RATINGS: 12/ 6,7/ 9,11/ 1
