RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: OLLY ODD POTTS (9) appeared to have every chance after trailing the leader when fifth at Cobram last week but this is a much easier race and he scored under similar conditions on August 20 so he can make his presence felt. SALSBOY (7) is likely to settle in a rearward position from his wide draw but he possesses a powerful finishing burst and he just failed to gun down Kimchi at his latest narrow second. MURIEL (4) trailed the leader and was held up for momentum on the home turn when a creditable fourth at her first up run since July. She should be better from that run and is usually competitive against this class. PINNACLE HOPE (1) possesses early speed and has claims along with another fast beginner in STELLAR QUEEN (3). EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 3,4 RATINGS: 7,9/ 3,4/ 1,8
