RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: AMERICAN GUY (1) was performing well at the trials prior to his first two efforts back from a break, where he finished well for third at Melton and followed with a reasonable fifth at Coolamon. He is ideally drawn and gets his chance to break through for his Maiden success. BUBBLE OVER (6) was placed three times in succession prior to coming from a rearward position and working into fourth at Ararat. She is poorly drawn again but is racing well enough to be considered as one of the leading chances. MACHFREDDY (4) finished off quite well for third when resuming from a break and should be fitter. He should be suited against this opposition and must be considered as a winning chance. SEASIDE SHOW (5) used the pole position to her advantage to hold the lead and was run down in the last few strides when a close second at Mildura last week. She is not as well drawn and is meeting a field of more depth here but she is worth thought again.
