RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Victoria Derby champion FOX DAN (1) is back from a little freshen-up following the Mildura Pacing Cup, which he ran second in back on April 11. While there are some question marks around his ability to lead this race, I think he is fast enough to hold up if that’s what connections desire. He’s a very good horse and deserves to run the short-priced favourite. Stablemate OLIVER DAN (3) scored a well-deserved victory when he settled behind MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (4) and out-dashed him in the home straight a fortnight ago at Melton. If he was able to lead, he’d be a serious winning chance as all his form this campaign has been strong in good company. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (4) is one of the speed runners on the front line whose chances would improve greatly if he crossed to the fence, DANGEROUS (8) might get the right trip behind FOX DAN (1) and was good winning his last start at Wagga, while ULTIMATE VINNIE (2) is going really well and shouldn’t be discounted for the minor end of trifectas and First 4s despite his starting price.
