RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: STAR RULER (1) is backing up quickly from his effort at Cranbourne on Friday night but he performs best when he is able to lead and he will appreciate competing in a field of less depth here. G B BRAVE (4) has performed very well at his two starts since joining trainer Kate Attard and deserves to break through for a win. He was held up for a run at a vital stage and was unlucky at his Mildura debut then followed with a second behind the in-form mare Nevs Dream last outing. WHATA OPTIMIST (5) has been racing in good form in South Australia and looms as one of the leading chances. He recorded a quick mile rate of 1.57.4 when he scored at Globe Derby two starts ago then had little luck after commencing from the inside of the second line last outing. OUR MASTER PLAY (7) has performed below expectations recently but he has too much ability to dismiss.   The odds quoted on the fields page are a GoodForm generated price estimate based on a range of key form factors and are not necessarily the odds that may be offered by a licensed bookmaker.
