Race comment
OVERVIEW: Tricky little race this with a number of winning chances, but leaning towards the in-form PESCI (10) for the McNaulty brothers and James Herbertson. He won a couple in-a-row before a good dash home from last for second to Alot Like Louie and then had no chance from out the back in a hot race behind Calexico latest. This is much more suitable and he should be storming home late. DO IT (3) is a lightly-raced five-year-old who performed really well through the Vicbred Super Series and looks a great chance after a little freshen-up, AMPHIJET (11) is airborne at the moment and produced a stunning win from last at Geelong last time out, while EARL OF PEMBROKE (8) is very capable in this type of grade but has a tricky gate to contend with.

OVERVIEW: Tricky little race this with a number of winning chances, but leaning towards the in-form PESCI (10) for the McNaulty brothers and James Herbertson. He won a couple in-a-row before a good dash home from last for second to Alot Like Louie and then had no chance from out the back in a hot race behind Calexico latest. This is much more suitable and he should be storming home late. DO IT (3) is a lightly-raced five-year-old who performed really well through the Vicbred Super Series and looks a great chance after a little freshen-up, AMPHIJET (11) is airborne at the moment and produced a stunning win from last at Geelong last time out, while EARL OF PEMBROKE (8) is very capable in this type of grade but has a tricky gate to contend with.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Tricky little race this with a number of winning chances, but leaning towards the in-form PESCI (10) for the McNaulty brothers and James Herbertson. He won a couple in-a-row before a good dash home from last for second to Alot Like Louie and then had no chance from out the back in a hot race behind Calexico latest. This is much more suitable and he should be storming home late. DO IT (3) is a lightly-raced five-year-old who performed really well through the Vicbred Super Series and looks a great chance after a little freshen-up, AMPHIJET (11) is airborne at the moment and produced a stunning win from last at Geelong last time out, while EARL OF PEMBROKE (8) is very capable in this type of grade but has a tricky gate to contend with.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Tricky little race this with a number of winning chances, but leaning towards the in-form PESCI (10) for the McNaulty brothers and James Herbertson. He won a couple in-a-row before a good dash home from last for second to Alot Like Louie and then had no chance from out the back in a hot race behind Calexico latest. This is much more suitable and he should be storming home late. DO IT (3) is a lightly-raced five-year-old who performed really well through the Vicbred Super Series and looks a great chance after a little freshen-up, AMPHIJET (11) is airborne at the moment and produced a stunning win from last at Geelong last time out, while EARL OF PEMBROKE (8) is very capable in this type of grade but has a tricky gate to contend with.
