RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FLOATING MOUNTAIN (11) commences from a tough mark but he did win at Ararat from the handicap of 30m two starts ago and he will find this race to be much easier than his latest eighth in the Geelong Cup. BOUTIKA (8) is resuming since October but she was racing well against stronger opposition last season so she should be competitive if she is somewhere near her peak. RIDETHELIGHTNING (7) is resuming since being unplaced in a heat of the Super Series at Kilmore in November but he will be fitter after two recent trial performances. He is better than his form reads and cannot be left out of calculations. KAMARAN (5) has ability but has made a few errors recently. He can show up if he delivers a fool proof display. LADY SUSPICIOUS (9) and ALDEBARAN ANTON (10) both performed well at Mount Gambier last week and are worth thought in another even race.
