RACE COMMENT
OUTER CHANGE (2) has reasonable early speed and may look to press forward in this race and look for the lead. She drew well two starts ago and was crossed by Rollonx who is a quick beginner. If she can hold her position this time she should be hard to beat. ROLLONX (6) draws inside the back row this time after being luckless last start when dragged out of the race by a tiring runner before finishing off well into second once into the clear. He will need luck in this race from an awkward draw but is racing well enough to win if that luck comes.  MAJOR GENERALJUJON (8) returned to form last start when working away from the inside and running on best to beat Rollonx. This looks a touch tougher given the back row draw and he will need the speed on to be running into it late.  AQUA CRUISER (9) was able to win a similar type of race four starts ago at Redcliffe when sitting without cover. He was well beaten last start at this track but he was forced to do the work and they rated good time for the grade.
