RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ROCKNLENA (3) consistent mare that is racing well and has drawn favourably and looks hard to hold out. DEEBRAXTON (6) has had two runs from a spell and should be primed for this. Expect a forward showing. METRO BLISS (4) broke through for a well-deserved maiden win last start. Racing well and can figure in the finish again. FLAMING DEL (5) resumes here and has shown ability in the past and can run well fresh. PISTOL PEARCE (8) will strip fitter for his first up run and just needs to find an opening to be hitting the line late. ALL THINGS SPICY (7) drawn wide and was placed last start and will need luck from the wide draw but must be respected. DELTA STARZ (1) and EARS THE BOSS (2) are speedy types that are place and first four hopes.   EARLY SPEED: 1,3 RATINGS: 3/ 6/ 4/ 5/ 8/ 7/ 1/ 2
