RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: It is an open race with many winning chances. ROCK POSTER (6) was left stranded out three horses wide and progressed forward to park without cover from the 1600m when a creditable fourth at Shepparton last outing. He was placed at his previous four attempts and should run his usual honest race. WATCH HIM DANCE (5) settled in a rearward position and finished off fast when third at Charlton last outing. He endured a tough run when fourth at Ballarat prior. ARUVAL (4) and EL LAZZAR (7) both went very quickly in the first lap and were able to battle on okay in their efforts in the same race at Charlton last week. They are both capable of showing up without surprising. JUST LIKE NUGGET (2) did well after making a mid-race move when a close second at Stawell two starts ago and has claims. KATUNTI (10) and PAKIKAU (9) finished first and second at a Terang trial on Tuesday night and must be kept safe.
