RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BETTER SAINT (11) pushed around the field mid-race to park without cover and went down fighting when a game third behind Arraps at Shepparton last outing. He endured a similar hard run when he scored at Shepparton on September 17 and he should be competitive again. EPIC ORION (9) will appreciate a drop back in class on his latest performances and should improve on his numerical form. He has had four starts since returning from a Queensland campaign and has won three races at Shepparton previously. CRESCO THREEPEAT (10) pushed forward to race without cover and was very strong at the finish when he got up to win at Albury last week. This race is no harder and he is worth thought again. The emergency FINAL BOW (1) is perfectly drawn and has claims now that she has gained a start. Other chances include MYNAMEISRUBY (4), TOPHUT JOHNY (7) and SPEEDY SPIDA (8). EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely early leader), 1,2,5 RATINGS:11/ 9,10/ 1/ 4,7,8
