RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: REBEL REBEL (9) is a nicely bred filly, which has been performing well at the trials. She powered along the sprint lane to win over Muddy at her latest Shepparton trial success and she is likely to be strongly fancied. MAJOR FRIEND (1) finished third behind Scarlett Night at a Shepparton trial performance and followed with a close up third behind Aruval at Melton on Wednesday night. She is perfectly drawn and this race is no harder so she warrants respect. DEMARTINO (6) was placed in three successive trial performances prior to a debut fourth, where she finished off okay from a rearward position. She has ability and must be included amongst the leading chances. ESTHERS BEST (8) began quickly and found the lead shortly after the start when fourth on debut. She should have benefited from the experience and is not without a chance. BACK: REBEL REBEL (9) – 3 units (win)
