RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW:  FOUROUTOFFIVE (9) won a heat of the Super Series prior to finishing fourth in the Final behind the star trotter The Locomotive. This is a much easier assignment and he should prove hard to beat. PICKET WIRE (4) is a versatile mare and is racing in peak form. She was unplaced in the Super Series Final then followed with victories at Shepparton and Bendigo. She progressed forward to race on the outside of the leader and was a big winner last time so she must be considered as a winning chance again. IKIGAI (5) began quickly to find the lead and held off the challenge of ALDEBARAN ACRUX (8) and HES A HAMMER (7) at Kilmore last outing. She is drawn to obtain a prominent position again so she must be respected. ROYAL CHARLOTTE (3) is a fast beginner that is likely to lead out then take cover so she is worth a ticket each way. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely early leader), 4,5 RATINGS: 9/ 4,5/ 3/ 7,8,10/ FIELD
