RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KEAYANG GUCCI (3) had no luck when a game fourth in the Super Series Final then followed with a big victory at Kilmore, where she sprinted quickly from the second half of the field. She met a top field on Victoria Cup night and ran a close up third so she must be rated highly. ILLAWONG LARAJAY (7) is poorly drawn but is racing in career best form and warrants consideration. She was left stranded without cover mid-race and battled on bravely for second behind Exalted at her latest attempt. SEBASTIANS BOY (8) is resuming since May but he is a very smart trotter when he is able to put it altogether. He has won a trial at Shepparton recently and has winning claims despite the awkward draw. PICKET WIRE (2) is rising in class but is racing in peak form while the Chris Svanosio trained pair HEPHAESTUS PHOENIX (5) and ALDEBARAN MILEY (6) both have the ability to figure in the finish. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 2,5 RATINGS: 3/ 7,8/ 2,5,6/ 1,9,10
