RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: WAR DAN BUDDY (9) is the emergency for the Victoria Cup so he is a very good chance of taking the opening event. He chased hard when a game second behind Catch A Wave in fast time at his latest Melton appearance. MACH DAN (11) is resuming since a close second in the Geelong Cup back in March but he has been performing nicely at the trials. He does tend to race best when he is able to lead so being drawn on the second line is a disadvantage but he is one of the class runners of the field. CODE BAILEY (6) has worked home well at his two starts back from a long spell and rates as a value hope. LOUIE LOU I (5) continues to build on his consistent record and has the early speed to be prominent throughout. HES FROM HEAVEN (7) had little luck when unplaced behind Catch A Wave at his latest attempt. His overall form is sound so he must be respected. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely early leader), 5,7 RATINGS: 9,11/ 5,6,7/ 4,8,10
