RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Multiple Group 1 winner ROCKINWITHATTITUDE (4) returns for her first run since finishing a close-up fourth in the Inter Dominion Trotting Championship Grand Final at Albion Park in July. She’s a star and should lead and win this assignment as a short-priced favourite. HOPPY (6) showed exciting progression last campaign when he won two races and placed in a further two, and looks ready to enter the free-for-all ranks, FOUROUTOFFIVE (5) won brilliantly from the chair in an easier clash than this at Melton on August 29 and is a nice type, while ALDEBARAN ACRUX (3) returns to the races following a Queensland preparation that ended after one round of Inter Dom heats, but she’s a classy mare on her night and looks the other top four contender. 10-UNIT GAME PLAN R4 #3 MISS ARI – 1 unit (win)/2 units (place)R7 #7 GATESYS GEM – 4 units (win)R8 #5 RUBYS DREAM – 2 units (win)R9 #3 HITTHEROADJACK – 0.5 unit (each-way) EARLY QUADDIE 2,4,9,10,11/4,6,9,10,11,12/2,4,7,8,10/3,7,11 QUADDIE 1,3,4,9/10,12/7,11,12/3,5,6,7,8
