RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: STELLAR QUEEN (1) gained a nice trail and tried hard when a close up third behind The Accidental One at Echuca last outing. She is ideally drawn against a suitable line up and is worth thought. TELL A TALL STORY (8) will be looking for STELLAR QUEEN (1) to hold a forward position at the start and is a winning chance if she does. He attempted to lead throughout when third at Boort then followed with a fourth behind Bettorsweetvictory in a slick mile of 1.55.1 at Charlton last outing. ITTAKESLUV (9) scored at Mount Gambier two starts ago then copped plenty of pressure in the leading role and had excuses at her latest eighth. She is racing well enough to figure in the finish against this class. TYABB WONDER (5) has only beaten one horse to the line at her past three attempts but she has early speed and this is a significant drop back in class so she is a possible improver.
