RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PESCI (9) recorded a big victory at Bendigo last week, where he worked hard early, gained a trail and finished off best in a slick mile rate of 1.53.4. He is meeting a field of similar quality now and should prove hard to beat. ROARFORROSCOE (10) appeared to have his chance when resuming but he chased home the smart pacer Petracca. He should have benefited from the run and this race is easier so he must be considered as a winning chance. SPIRIT OF ANARCHY (6) was performing nicely at Menangle prior to a second on his Victorian debut, where he attempted to lead throughout in the St Arnaud Cup. He has ability and should give a bold showing. BULLDOG KHAN (4) performs best when he is able to lead over the sprint distance so he has the conditions to suit him here and he should take catching. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 3,6 RATINGS: 9/ 6,10/ 4/ 3,8
