RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: IJUSTCANTSEEIT (1) broke at the start and was last early but recovered brilliantly when she won easily at Maryborough on Tuesday. She showed a lot of ability during the Super Series and in the Breeders Crown so she will take beating if she gives a fool proof display. PASS THE SALT (9) made it though to the Super Series Final, where seventh then followed with a sixth ($2-50 fav) at Kilmore. He is better than his form reads and is capable of improving on his numerical form. SPIRITED GIGI (6) was runner up at his first two attempts prior to a fifth at Maryborough on Monday. He is a speedy type and should be competitive under these conditions. VAN NOSTRAND (12) endured a tough run and battled on well for third at Kilmore last outing. He ran home well to win at Shepparton three starts ago so he warrants respect.   EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 6 RATINGS: 1/ 6,9/ 12/ 3,4
