RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: MAURLEN COMPASS (8) was resuming since May when he charged home out wide on the track in a slick final quarter of 27.7 seconds at his latest eye-catching fourth. He is awkwardly drawn but he should have benefited from his first up performance and his form last preparation was strong so he must be respected. MADAM REACTOR (6) is a fast beginner and likes to race close to the pace. She trailed the leader throughout when second behind Major Hayley at Shepparton last outing and should be competitive again. ELIZAJANE (5) finished off well for a close second behind Foregone Conclusion then was doing her best work at the end when a handy fourth in the race won by Major Hayley last week. She is racing well and deserves to break through for a win. EEBEEBEE (9) and IAMAWINGATE (10) both won against easier grade last week but are racing well enough to be competitive again.
