RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: It is a very open race to commence the program with many winning chances. SPIRIT OF ARION (11) defeated the classy filly Jilliby Illuminate on September 21 and finished a close third behind DHAULAGIRI (13) last time out so he should be competitive again. SKINNYDIP (12) is a smart pacer that is resuming since May. He chased gamely when third behind Captain Hammerhead at a recent Shepparton trial performance so he is not to be underestimated. BLAKE BOLAC (7) endured a tough run and went down fighting when third behind Rocknroll Walla at Geelong last week. He is racing in peak form and will give another forward showing. LAYDEN (9) possesses a powerful finishing burst and must be included amongst the leading chances. The Julie Douglas trained pair COURAGEOUS SAINT (10) and DHAULAGIRI (13) both cannot be left out of calculations. EARLY SPEED: 7 (possible leader), 1,6 RATINGS: 11,12/ 7,9,10/ 13/ 1,4/ FIELD
