RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: STRAPPING RED (9) has been racing very well and gets a nice trailing draw to be well poised throughout and should be fighting out the finish. GOLDEN SHOOZ (10) talented filly that fought on hard last start and is better suited here. One of the main chances. ROCKIN GEMMA (2) returns from NSW and joins the astute Michelle Phillips stable. Drawn well and has gate speed. Trialling well and expect a big showing fresh. Definite chance. FERRIGNO (1) is a fast beginner that races best with a sit and should be well placed throughout to receive every chance. MY UNCLE STAN (8) gets an ideal draw and most likely will settle either behind the leader or three back the pegs. He will be savaging the line late. TELEMACHUS (4) was working up to a win but hasn’t raced for one month and was scratched in between.  Watch with interest. Both CLEAR LEFT (3) and JACCKA CONNOR (5) are never far away and are amongst the place and first four hopes. EARLY SPEED: 1,2 RATINGS: 9/ 10/ 2/ 1/ 8/ 4/ 3/
