RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ROADMASTER (4) possesses early speed and has struck peak form so he is worth an investment. He dropped back at the start from a wide draw and finished hard when an eye-catching second behind Petracca at Geelong last outing. BETTOR ISOLATE (8) will find this race to be slightly easier than his recent performances. He progressed forward to find a prominent position before gaining a trail and chasing hard at the end when third behind Bulletproof Boy last week. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (5) didn’t seem to handle the track at St Arnaud when unplaced in the Cup and is worth another chance. He produced a strong finish to win against similar grade at Melton two starts ago. RAKAJED (7) beat a slightly easier field last week but he worked hard and recorded fast time. He is very strong and is likely to make his presence felt. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible early leader), 1,3,4,7 RATINGS: 4/ 5,7,8/ 3,6
