RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: STRIKEM (4) is a handy 3yo pacer, which finished unplaced in a heat of the Victoria Derby last week but he was finding the line well in sizzling final sectionals. He led throughout at an Albion Park victory prior and is worth thought under these conditions. NO NOTTHEBUTTONS (7) has performed well in two starts since returning from South Australia and recorded a slick mile rate of 1.53.9 at his latest victory. He is versatile enough to overcome the poor draw. DESSIE GEE (8) finished off well from a rearward position when fourth behind Petracca at Melton last week. He is racing consistently and is not without a chance. MIKI COHEN (3) has been racing in peak form having won three of his past four starts at Menangle. He led throughout at his latest victory in a mile of 1.51.3 and should be prominent throughout again from his good draw. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 4,5 RATINGS: 4,7/ 8/ 3/ 6
