RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LOUCASSO (1) was first up since winning the Protostar during the Brisbane Winter Carnival when he ambled to the lead shortly after the start and dashed home in a sensational last quarter of 25.7 seconds to win his heat. He should be fitter after that performance and is a big chance of leading throughout. CARDIGAN DAN (8) is the obvious main danger. He is drawn to trail the leader and did do well after leading out then taking cover behind LOUCASSO (1) last week. LUVTOBEUPTOME (4) is racing extremely well and missed out narrowly in the Super Series Final two starts ago but the barrier draw is a big disadvantage with LOUCASSO (1) coming up with pole position. SOHO MAJESTIC (9) is likely to ease onto the markers behind CARDIGAN DAN (8) shortly after the start and is a minor place hope at odds with an expected economical trip. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 3,4 RATINGS: 1/ 8/ 4/ 9/ 2,3,5,6
