RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HES NO ROMEO (1) led out then took cover when a convincing winner of his heat. He has been in very good form since coming from New Zealand and is perfectly drawn to suit his racing pattern so he must be respected. WATTLEBANK ARNIE (8) trailed the leader and finished quickly via the sprint lane to win his heat. He is drawn to receive a similar trail on the markers and should be finishing off strongly again. TRIPLE ROCK SAINT (3) has struck peak form and did well after coming out three horses wide from midfield at his latest second. He should go well again under these conditions. BROWNIESATMIDNIGHT (6) was shuffled back on the markers and finished off boldly for second in his heat effort. He was a big winner first up so he must be respected. ROCKNALLOVERTHEWORLD (2), HEZ ALL ROCK (5), ATA RANGI (11) and ATA RANGI (13) are all capable of showing up without surprising in an open race to start the night. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 2,5,7 RATINGS: 1/ 3,8/ 5,6,11/ 2/ FIELD
