RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PET KITTY (3) has returned to Victoria and has struck some very good form back with trainer Carson Millar. Drawn well and strips fitter and can fight out the finish again.  HANDLER (10) resumes here but is a very smart pacer when right. A major chance and will be storming home. BIG SLEDGE HAMMER (6) excellent run when first up and strips fitter again. One of the main chances. KEAYANG OMAR (1) drawn ideally to be handy and will get every chance. Both ILLUSTRIOUS (4) and TO THE NINES (9) are racing well and must be respected whilst ROSBERG (8) DELIGHTFUL CHARM (12) SHEZA DAYDREAMA (2) GUNFORHIRE (11) and MONA MIA (13) all have ability and are amongst the place and first four hopes. EARLY SPEED: 1,3,5,6 RATINGS: 3/ 10/ 6/ 1/ 4/ 9/ 8/ 12/ 2/ 11/ 13
