RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: CARAPAZ (3) is resuming since a third at Terang in October but he will be fitter after a recent trial effort at Terang and he showed enough ability last preparation to warrant respect. He did contest the Sapling Stakes three starts ago and finished a close second in a slick mile rate of 1.57.2 on October 10. NONNAS DREAM (5) is the interesting runner. She is a 2yo filly taking on older horses but she did finish off in a slick final quarter of 28.5 seconds to win a Terang trial last week with SORRYDREAMAWAY (1) being in third so she must be kept safe. THAT’S KEVIN (10) finished off hard when an eye-catching second at Terang then appeared to have his chance from behind the leader at Stawell. He is lightly raced and should continue to improve with the benefit of racing. BUBBLE OVER (2) has been racing consistently and has claims along with SNACK LOVER (8).
