RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: JILLIBY WILLOW (10) gained the perfect trail behind the leader and missed out narrowly when third in the Group 1 Queen of the Pacific last week. She finished third behind Better Eclipse and Catch A Wave when she was resuming so she appears to be well placed in this field and must be respected despite a negative swing in the barrier draw. ROARFORROSCOE (8) worked very hard to hold the inside advantage in the early stages before taking cover at the 1600m when sixth behind Cantfindabettorman in the Popular Alm FFA last week. He will be relying on NICHOLAS CAGE (1) holding a forward position at the start but he will go close if he gains the right luck in running. ARGGGHHH (6) finished quickly from a rearward position when an eye-catching third behind Exotic Bushranger last week. He is a versatile pacer and is worth a ticket each way. NICHOLAS CAGE (1) has joined trainer Kyle Marshall and has performed well enough at the trials with a win and a third to suggest he should be competitive at his Victorian debut. He boasts a career best mile of 1.50.7 at Menangle so he has the speed to be in the finish. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 4,6 RATINGS: 10/ 6,8/ 1/ 5,7/ 11
