RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SOHO HUDSON (1) was resuming since July when he scored comfortably at Menangle. He has since joined trainer Vince Vallelonga and he is a good chance of ending up being behind the leader from the pole position so he can go well at his Mildura debut. AVOCA BLUES (4) is a fast beginner and has returned to his peak form. He led throughout at a Mildura two starts ago then followed with a close second at Kapunda. He should give another forward showing. LEWIELEWIS (5) won at Boort last outing and will find this race to be easier than his latest unplaced effort in the Birchip Cup. He is a versatile pacer and looms as one of the leading chances. MODERN GINGER (9) trailed the leader, was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished solidly for a close second behind GOOD BOOTS BINDI (8) last outing. He will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and is worth thought.
