RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: NOBLE TRICK (4) was out five horses wide approaching the home turn and finished off boldly for third behind To The Nines last week. He was competing in the open class events prior including an eleventh in the Ouyen Cup and he appears to be much better placed against this opposition. NEVS DREAM (1) is a fast beginner and performs best when she is able to lead. She attempted to lead throughout when second in the race won by To The Nines last outing and the shorter distance of this assignment is an advantage. KEAYANG MOROCCAN (7) was unplaced in the Ouyen Cup last outing and is likely to find this assignment to be easier. He has the perfect trailing draw behind the likely leader so he is capable of improving on his numerical form. MIDNIGHT PIRATE (2) and UNITED (3) are both capable of showing up without surprising.
