RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: REMUS PHOENIX (6) never appeared to be comfortable and broke stride approaching the home turn ($1-95 fav) when unplaced behind Hilltop Hugh in the Super Series Final last outing. This is a massive drop back in class and he is a quality trotter when he is able to put it altogether so he should prove hard to beat. QUIRKY CHARACTER (8) was a good thing beaten last outing and must be respected. He was poor to begin, worked hard and had a comfortable lead with 100m remaining before he broke stride and lost his winning opportunity. STATELY SALOME (1) was performing nicely at the trials prior to a first up seventh at Kilmore, where she broke stride on the home turn when seemingly going to finish in fourth. She is nicely bred and has ability so she cannot be left out of calculations. HAPPY ESCAPE (7) has a tough draw to overcome but he has been trotting in good form and is worth a place ticket. EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 6 RATINGS: 6/ 8/ 1,7/ 4/ 5
