RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: NO NOTHEBUTTONS (8) smart 4yo that was terrific when first up from a spell and looks ideally placed here and should prove very hard to beat. HUGO ROCKS (4) will find this easier than recent starts and can be an improver and capable of figuring in the finish. TWISTING BY (7) returns from a stint in Queensland. Does have good ability and can run well fresh. VEE EM GEE MACRAY (6) capable mare on her day and expect her to be running on late and has claims. OOH AH LISTAH (2) getting fitter with each run and has a favourable draw and must be respected. GIVE DAVE A WAVE (3) is a place and first four hope along with WATTLEBANK ARNIE (5) and OUR CHEEKY DEVIL (1). EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3,4 RATINGS: 8/ 4/ 7/ 6/ 2/ 3/ 5/ 1
