RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW:  This looks to be another great race full of quality talent. I AM THE STORM (8) was brave last start, sitting in the breeze at Melton and still prevailing to be too strong. However, that was not surprising as he’s a talented horse that seems to have reached new heights this year. The barrier is awkward for him here. ITS CONFIDENTIAL (4) has not been performing poorly recently by any means, but he’s been a little bit out of form numerically. He suits races run at an even tempo where the last quarter isn’t super quick. Recently, all his runs have had a final quarter that has probably been a bit quick for him from well back in the field to make up ground. He was the winner of this series as a three-year-old and is absolutely proven at this level. He’s a talented horse. PICK UP ELVIS (9) has been super in his last two runs behind THE LAST TRIP. Two starts ago, he flashed home from last and wasn’t far behind the star four-year-old. He should get a good trip here. SEATHESTARS (3) is first up here, but he was eye-catching beating a nice field of horses in a recent Melton trial. He has raced at the top level his whole career and he should be able to map well here from barrier three. An interesting horse to note in this field is MCMAYHEM (5). He has done all his racing in Tasmania and is first up here for Mitchell Frost. BACK: R4 #1 FOX DAN into R5 #8 I AM THE STORM – 3 units (win multi)
