Race comment
COASTAL DRIVE (10) was last seen in the Vicbred Super Series at Melton where he came from the back row to place in the Group 1 final in his last outing in November. Won the last time he raced here, taking his strike rate at the circuit to 50 per cent and while drawn wide he should be ready to go off a trial win. SINABUN (6) was very consistent in Brisbane last season, winning two of his last three outings at Albion Park before a three month spell and earlier placing at Group 1 level. Yet to win fresh but was readied with a second at the trials. Could measure up. PERFECT STRANGER (4) found winning form two back at Bathurst before a 2m second at this circuit and distance last week. Draws to make an impact again. CATCHAFIRE (5) won the last time he raced at this circuit three back and has also won the Leeton Cup since, both from wider draws than this. Must respect.

Race comment
COASTAL DRIVE (10) was last seen in the Vicbred Super Series at Melton where he came from the back row to place in the Group 1 final in his last outing in November. Won the last time he raced here, taking his strike rate at the circuit to 50 per cent and while drawn wide he should be ready to go off a trial win. SINABUN (6) was very consistent in Brisbane last season, winning two of his last three outings at Albion Park before a three month spell and earlier placing at Group 1 level. Yet to win fresh but was readied with a second at the trials. Could measure up. PERFECT STRANGER (4) found winning form two back at Bathurst before a 2m second at this circuit and distance last week. Draws to make an impact again. CATCHAFIRE (5) won the last time he raced at this circuit three back and has also won the Leeton Cup since, both from wider draws than this. Must respect.

Race comment
COASTAL DRIVE (10) was last seen in the Vicbred Super Series at Melton where he came from the back row to place in the Group 1 final in his last outing in November. Won the last time he raced here, taking his strike rate at the circuit to 50 per cent and while drawn wide he should be ready to go off a trial win. SINABUN (6) was very consistent in Brisbane last season, winning two of his last three outings at Albion Park before a three month spell and earlier placing at Group 1 level. Yet to win fresh but was readied with a second at the trials. Could measure up. PERFECT STRANGER (4) found winning form two back at Bathurst before a 2m second at this circuit and distance last week. Draws to make an impact again. CATCHAFIRE (5) won the last time he raced at this circuit three back and has also won the Leeton Cup since, both from wider draws than this. Must respect.

Race comment
COASTAL DRIVE (10) was last seen in the Vicbred Super Series at Melton where he came from the back row to place in the Group 1 final in his last outing in November. Won the last time he raced here, taking his strike rate at the circuit to 50 per cent and while drawn wide he should be ready to go off a trial win. SINABUN (6) was very consistent in Brisbane last season, winning two of his last three outings at Albion Park before a three month spell and earlier placing at Group 1 level. Yet to win fresh but was readied with a second at the trials. Could measure up. PERFECT STRANGER (4) found winning form two back at Bathurst before a 2m second at this circuit and distance last week. Draws to make an impact again. CATCHAFIRE (5) won the last time he raced at this circuit three back and has also won the Leeton Cup since, both from wider draws than this. Must respect.
