RACE COMMENT

  OVERVIEW: RIVER STORM (11) recorded a victory in fast time over the smart pacer Romeo at Cranbourne then competed in the Super Series, where he made it through to the Final and ended up finishing in tenth. This race is much easier and he has performed well at the trials so he should prove hard to beat. SPRINGFIELD RIVER (9) has been very impressive at his two starts to date and looms as the logical danger. He was driven aggressively and worked forward to find the lead when he scored comfortably at Maryborough last outing. THESTING (10) produced a powerful finishing burst when he was able to get up and score at his debut performance. This is a race of more depth but he is worth thought again. GINGER ELLA (3) pushed forward to find the lead and raced fiercely when fourth at Wagga last outing. She was placed in a heat of the Super Series on November 05 and is worth an investment.   EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,4 RATINGS: 11/ 9,10/ 3/ 1/ 8
