RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: MISS DOOBEE (9) finished off solidly from midfield to win in a slick mile rate of 1.56.4 at Shepparton then followed with a sixth in the Graduation Final at Melton. She has the perfect trailing draw and should be finding the line strongly again. HELLAVA DEAL (5) had no luck whatsoever when she raced out three horses wide for the majority of the journey and was unplaced at her first run since November. She has ability and is worth following. AMERICAN ASSASSIN (6) ran into a couple of handy ones in Black Opal Jack and Colosimo when a sound third at her first run since February. She should go well under these conditions. MAJOR ORION (7) has performed nicely in his three starts to date and broke through for his Maiden success after enjoying an economical trip at Melton. He has a tough draw to overcome but is worth thought along with POSTERMAN (10), which produced a big finish to win in easier grade at his debut performance.
