RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FATE AWAITS (11) is a very good value chance after his cracking heat second last week, where he finished off strongly in a sizzling final half of 54.3 seconds. He won the Protostar during his juvenile season and also the Rising Sun during the Queensland Winter Carnival so he has the class to test this field. FOX DAN (1) was runner up in the Eureka and was very impressive when he overcame a tough trip to win his heat. He may be headed off at the start but will take beating if he can hold a forward position in the early stages of the event. SAO PAULO SIMBA (9) pushed forward to find the lead and won comfortably in his heat last week. He drops back to the second line now but is racing too well to dismiss. STORMS COLLIDE (13) produced a big effort when second in the Mimosa Homes Classic then gained the perfect trip when he won his heat last week. He is building up a strong record and must be respected. FINAL DEADLINE (7) showed brilliant gate speed to lead from the extreme draw last week and rates as a knockout chance. EARLY SPEED: 7 (possible early leader), 1,2,4 RATINGS: 1,11/ 9/ 13/ 4,5,7/ 12/ 10
