RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: YANKEE RAIN (6) was heavily supported and shot to the lead shortly after the start when she led throughout at Terang last week. That was her best performance of the season and a repeat effort will see her go close to winning again. TORQUE IN HEAVEN (9) was very wide on the home turn and finished off fast for second behind YANKEE RAIN (6) at Terang. He won at his two attempts prior and is capable of turning the tables with normal luck in running. MONSIEUR FLAMEL (7) is a fast beginner and should be competitive from the wide draw. He commenced from the inside of the second line, was shuffled back on the markers and stormed home late when an unlucky second behind Foregone Conclusion at Kilmore last time out. MEGAWATTS (5) came from a rearward position when second behind Krissy in fast time at Shepparton last outing and is racing well enough to figure in the finish.
