RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BYRNESIDE BOOM (12) was driven very aggressively when on the outside of the leader and recorded a fast mile rate of 1.54.4 at a big Bendigo victory on October 15. He missed out at Shepparton last week but is worth another chance. ROCKET ME (8) enjoyed the perfect trip at Shepparton last week and finished off best to win easily. He is awkwardly drawn on the inside of the second line but is worth thought again. LINE UP JACQUIE (9) has been in great form in South Australia with four straight victories to her credit. She is stepping up in class for this assignment but is racing too well to dismiss. MAYWYNS JEWEL (6) has been down on form recently but this is a drop back in class and she put in an encouraging performance at a Bendigo trial effort last week so she is a possible improver. EARLY SPEED: 6 (likely leader), 1,4,7 RATINGS: 12/ 8,9/ 6,10/ 4/ 1,5,7
