RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SOME AMERICAN (4) trialled the house down ahead of his return on May 23, and was impressive leading and beating a good field that included boom up-and-comer Keayang Renegade. He steps up significantly in grade from that assignment, but the front appears his and from there he looks very hard to beat over 1720m. ITS CONFIDENTIAL (9) is a Vicbred Super Series Final winner at three and is third-up into the campaign here. He was well held behind Oliver Dan in free-for-all company last weekend, but draws nicely on the back row and should be storming late. FORTY LOVE (5) is a tough customer who is rarely far away and is becoming quite seasoned at this level, while CALEXICO (8) ran as well as expected in the Maryborough Pacing Cup given his position three back the fence and is an emerging type who would give this a shake with the right breaks.
