RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CAPTAIN PERFECT (4) finished unplaced in the Super Series Final but he was forced to work very hard in a sensational mile rate of 1.52.8 so he had excuses. There is a good chance he will find the lead fairly comfortably here and he led throughout to win a semi-final of the Super Series two starts ago so he should prove very hard to beat. ITS CONFIDENTIAL (3) finished brilliantly through the middle to win the Super Series Final. He was also placed in the Victoria Derby so his overall form is strong and he has the speed to test this field again. VINEY (1) probably produced a career best performance when second in a semi-final of the Super Series, where he led out then took cover behind CAPTAIN PERFECT (4) and chased hard at the end. He drew on the outside of the second line when he finished down the track in the Final and is much better placed from the pole position here. NEW SHUFFLE (2) led throughout from the pole position to win a semi-final of the Super Series then followed with a sixth in the Final. He is racing in great form and is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 1,2,3 RATINGS: 4/ 3/ 1,2
