RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: A SPECIAL OCCASION (4) placed third in the prestigious Northern Derby in New Zealand before being shipped across to join the Michael Stanley stable here in Australia. He stepped out as a short-priced favourite at Ballarat on September 23 and absolutely bolted in, and I fancy he’s the class here in the last of the night. THE FINAL DANCE (1) draws to lead and is a talented type from the Emma Stewart barn who performed creditably through the heats, semis and final of the Vicbred Super Series for three-year-old colts and geldings, ANGELS WATCHING (8) made an early break but still got up to win impressively from three fence at Echuca last time and is a factor from behind the likely leader, while THE NAKED ART (7) has a horror gate but is a mare in form with two recent Melton Saturday night wins under her belt. BRINGSUSJOY (2), BETTORLEFTALONE (3) and FIRE MARSHALL (6) are perhaps others worth considering for the back end of trifectas and First 4s.
