RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MAXIMEZ (9) was first-up from a break in a race four of these horses contested last week at Ballarat and he only went down narrowly in a photo after racing in the chair for the last lap. It was a good performance after a stint away from the races, and from the nice back row draw he looks to be one of the leading contenders. AMOUR MATERNAL (1) settled three fence and charged late to run third there, and while she rarely wins, draws for another economical trip on the pegs. She’s sure to be closing hard and can prevail if the breaks come her way. South Australian visitor IDEOLOGY (4) has made breaks in both starts here in Victoria – including last week at Ballarat when he hit the front in the straight – but had a big picket fence going before that, and TICTOK (10) is running consistently well of late and is among the other chances headed by LORD LOGAN (7), OX KNOX (5) and WALLIS (6).
