RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: IMA TERMINATOR (5) is a lightly raced pacer that has endured his share of setbacks throughout his career but has shown to possess plenty of ability. Not far away last start against some smart types and strips fitter being third up from a spell. Can fight out the finish. BIZZNESS CLASS (1) drawn to sit behind the speed and can threaten from the pole position draw along with SHADES OF MIKI (8) that will follow through nicely and enjoy a soft trip and must be respected. ROYAL APPOINTMENT (12) ROCKELLA (10) CLASSIC LINE (3) and STEEL RULER (9) are going well and are amongst the place and first four hopes. EARLY SPEED: 1,5,6 RATINGS: 5/ 1/ 8/ 12/ 10/ 3/ 9
