RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: MAJOR CORBIE (1) is a first starter for trainer Lisa Pitt, which stormed home late for an eye-catching fourth at a Shepparton trial performance on Thursday and is drawn to go well. The Emma Stewart prepared debutante BEACH DANCER (3) will attract plenty of support and finished fourth behind Platinum Jive in fast time at a recent Melton trial performance. MY MATE ACE (6) and MY MACHETE (5) finished second and third respectively in the same trial as MAJOR CORBIE (1) on Thursday night and are not without a chance. LIGHT UP THE SKY (2) raced on the outside of the leader and battled into a distant third at Swan Hill last outing. She is a place chance from her good draw. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,2 RATINGS: 1,3/ 6/ 2,5/ 4/ 8/ 7
