RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MY LITTLE BO (1) was a huge winner at Wagga four starts ago where she raced without cover and posted a sizzling mile rate of 1.51.6. Her past two efforts were in the Breeders Crown series so she will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and is drawn to go close. STEEL RULER (8) has the perfect trailing draw behind MY LITTLE BO (1) and is a good chance of ending up being behind the leader. He won from behind the leader at Melton on September 05 and recorded a handy mile rate of 1.55.8 so he is not to be underestimated. STEEL THE MOMENT (3) is a versatile pacer and continues to race consistently. He finished off well in fast final sectionals at his latest second behind Ruby Wingate. SUNSTAR (5) failed to beat a runner to the line at his latest attempt but he ran a huge race after being three horses wide for the entire trip when fifth at Geelong prior so he rates as a value chance. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader). 2,4,7 RATINGS: 1/ 3,8/ 5/ 2/ 4,6,7
