RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (9) is resuming since a second behind the smart pacer Calexico at Melton in October. It took him some time to hit his top form last preparation but he will take beating if he is close to his peak form. SWEET IDEAL (7) did pick up some ground from the back when fifth in track record time at Geelong last outing. She copped a lot of pressure in the leading role when unplaced in the Super Series prior and is worth another chance under these conditions. TWISTING BY (1) is likely to be headed off at the start but he possesses a powerful finishing burst and is racing well enough to figure in the finish. He did pick up ground in a sizzling final quarter of 26.6 seconds at his latest fourth. MY UNCLE STAN (2) and REPELLING (4) both performed well in the race won by Smoken Ace at Geelong last outing and is not without a chance. EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 3,5 RATINGS: 9/ 1,7/ 2,4
