RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: WHY TANYA SUE (8) is resuming since breaking stride and losing her chance in the New South Wales Oaks in May. She won at her first two attempts and she ran a game second behind the Metropolitan class trotter Imperial Monarch at a recent Terang trial performance so she is sure to be strongly fancied. THE DARK THUNDER (7) has made errors at his past two attempts and is better than his form reads. He was a comfortable winner at Bendigo on August 06 and is a winning chance if he delivers a fool proof display. MONTANA CHEVELLE (5) is a fast beginner from the mobile and races best when she is able to lead over the sprint distance so she has the conditions to suit her here. She finished quickly from off the speed to win easily last outing so she is racing in good form. OOPZEE DAIZEE (2) and COURAGES LAW (3) are both racing well enough to feature prominently.   EARLY SPEED: 5 (likely leader), 2,3 RATINGS: 8/ 5,7/ 2,3/ 9
