RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Australasia’s champion pacer LEAP TO FAME (8) was surprisingly beaten after finding the lead last week but he was having his second run back from his Inter Dominion success and had the trip down from Queensland in the days leading up to that performance so he is capable of bouncing back into winning form. CATCH A WAVE (1) led throughout to win the Casey Classic in fast time two weeks ago and produced a phenomenal finishing burst when he scored on August 23. He is a multiple Group 1 winning pacer and is drawn to go close. HI MANAMEISJEFF (2) is a brilliant beginner and will take catching if he can head off CATCH A WAVE (1) at the start. He led throughout in successive Menangle victories prior to a close second in a mile of 1.49.6 last week. KINGMAN (4) is racing in outstanding form and produced a top performance when he gunned down the star pacer Swayzee at Menangle last outing. He has several fast beginners drawn on his inside but he cannot be left out of calculations. BAY OF BISCAY (10) was able to make up ground in slick final sectionals when fourth last week. He won the Eureka prior and will be suited if the race turns into a real staying test.   EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 2,4,5 RATINGS: 8/ 1/ 2,4,10/ 5,9
