RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: JUST INCREDIBLE (6) is third up here. Last start at Cranbourne he was in a tough field and got stuck on the fence but still hit the line well. He finished fourth in a Vicbred Super Series heat last year. He has the best sectional times but will need luck from the barrier. CALYPSO MISTRESS (3) hit the line well into third last start behind smart runners. She may map awkwardly with speed inside her but is racing well. CALEDONIAN RANGER (2) has great gate speed and with Jordan Leedham driving should be able to find the front. He maps well and over the short trip should be right in the finish. LORD VERDE (8) is in career-best form since moving to the Michael Laugher stable. On times he is the best swooper in this race, but he will need luck from the barrier.
