RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: FLOPPA (10) settled midfield and sustained a strong run to win in a handy mile rate of 1.56.2 when he was resuming. This race doesn’t appear to be any tougher and he should prove hard to beat again. AUSSIE JAY MAC (4) did well after getting into trouble at the start when third behind The Postmaster in fast time three back, competed in a heat of the South Australian Derby at his next attempt then endured a tough run when fourth last time out. He deserves a change of luck and gets his chance to run a big race from his handy draw. CATIES SON (7) was resuming since August when a distant ninth in a strong heat of the Super Series, where the winner Luvtobeuptome posted an incredible mile rate of 1.53.7 (2150m). He is widely drawn but will appreciate a big drop back in class and should be competitive. GO EASY ON ME (12) hasn’t finished further back than fourth in her five starts to date and her past two placed efforts have been behind the in-form pacers Soho Playgirl and The Postmaster so she cannot be left out of calculations. EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 1,6 RATINGS: 10/ 4,7/ 12/ 6,11
