RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: It is an outstanding race for the opening heat of the Victoria Derby with many winning chances. KINGMAN (10) circled around the field to park on the outside of the leader and produced an outstanding performance when third in the Super Series Final. He won a semi-final of that series prior and is very durable so he is worth following. SOME AMERICAN (4) began quickly to lead, ran along at a rapid rate and produced a career best performance when second in the Super Series Final. He is a good chance of finding the lead again so he must be respected. MIKI TO SUCCESS (3) finished off fast to become the Super Series champion. He is yet to miss a place in ten starts for the season and should prove hard to beat again. SAIFA (9) is resuming since a creditable fourth in the Queensland Derby and joins trainer Andy Gath. He is worth thought along with HES FROM HEAVEN (6), METEOR MOTH (7) and the speedy Queensland pacer THE JANITOR (8). EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 2,3,5,7 RATINGS: 3,4,10/ 9/ 6/ 7,8/ FIELD
