RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BULLETPROOF BOY (10) continued his outstanding form with a strong victory over HES FROM HEAVEN (5) in a super mile rate of 1.51.8 last outing. He is poorly drawn but is very versatile and looms as one of the leading chances again. PETRACCA (4) is stepping up to the genuine open class following his latest victory over Roadmaster at Geelong. He boasts the strong record of 13 wins from just 20 starts and should give another forward showing. HES FROM HEAVEN (5) set up a genuine tempo and was run down late at his first run for trainer Lisa Pitt. He was impressive at the trials prior and should be competitive from his reasonable draw. SWEETNIKKILOU (1) performed very well throughout the Super Series and is worth thought from the pole position. DANGEROUS (7) faces a negative swing in the barrier draw from his latest victory over BULLETPROOF BOY (10) but he is worth thought along with TRIPLE EIGHT (8) and MACH DAN (9). EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 1,5,7 RATINGS: 4,10/ 5/ 1,7,8/ 9
