RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KEAYANG STUKA (12) is building up a strong record and is a good chance of completing a hat trick. He pushed forward to find the lead and was able to win comfortably at Geelong last outing. GOTFEELINGSYOUKNOW (1) had no luck whatsoever when unplaced behind The Locomotive in the Super Series Final last week. He was placed in track record time in a heat of that series prior and should go well against this class. OVERANDOUT (4) was caught wide early, restrained to last and had little luck in obtaining a clear run in the latter stages when sixth at Geelong. He is racing consistently and rates as a value hope. ILLAWONG LARAJAY (7) is racing in great form and is a winning chance if she gains the right luck from her awkward draw. IMPERIAL MONARCH (10) is resuming since June but he was in great form during his last campaign with five victories including the Tontine Championship in track record time. He is poorly drawn but he will be fitter after two recent trial performances and is too good to dismiss. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,4 RATINGS: 1,12/ 4/ 7,10/ 8/ FIELD
