RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: If the emergency PRINCESS ARNA (2) gains a start, she will prove very hard to beat. OUR MYSTERY BET (10) is racing well but without luck and strikes a suitable assignment now. He made up ground from a long way back when a creditable fifth behind Rocket Me last week. JOEYS HANGOVER (8) has been placed at his past three attempts and is nearing a win against this class. He attempted to lead all of the way when second behind Mynameisruby last week. MURIEL (4) has been placed in two of her past three starts and is drawn to be prominent throughout. She led out then took cover when second behind Lester at Kilmore two starts ago and it is possible she will be able to land the same position here. TASTE IT (1) is much better drawn for this assignment and is worth thought along with REINDER (5), SELF EXCLUSION (6) and DOT BALL (9).   EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 2,4,6 RATINGS: 10/ 4,8/ 5,6,9/ 1
