RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: STEEL RULER (8) enjoyed a good trip in the Stawell cup last start and chased determinedly when runner up. Drawn to get a soft trip again here and if the openings appear he should be fighting out the finish.  BIG SLEDGE HAMMER (6) tough pacer that proved too strong after doing his share of work to win last start. Racing well and should prove hard to hold out. AMPHIJET (2) is going very well and does have the early speed to be in a prominent position and just needs an ounce of luck to be a strong winning chance. ASMILEANDAWINX (1) gets an ideal draw to utilise his early gate speed to be well poised. Should be in this for a long way. CLARENDEN EXPRESS (9) TOORAM CEE CEE (5) and IMAGINATION ORO (4) are all racing well and will be storming home late. With suitable trips must be respected. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,6 RATINGS: 8/ 6/ 2/ 1/ 9/ 5/ 4
