RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Formlines galore to sort out here in the opener where ROCKY PACIFIC (9) shapes as a key runner. He was first-up from New Zealand when a really brave second in fast time at Cranbourne on June 28 and he never found the fence. I thought it was a very promising run, and while he is only a horse with seven career starts up against some more seasoned rivals, he should go well from the nice back row draw. WHERE IS WOODY (6) will be back in the field but can win a race of this calibre, DRESSED IN GOLD (10) chased home My Ultimate Barney for third in a slick last half at Bendigo last week and must be a factor, while MASS BETTING AGAIN (3) looms as a likely early leader and did go all the way from the front at Cranbourne last time out.
