RACE COMMENT
  OVERVIEW: SPYGLASS (9) has returned from a break in terrific form and should prove hard to beat again. He finished well for second behind Exotic Bushranger at Melton then sprinted exceptionally fast from midfield in a final quarter of 26.4 seconds to win very impressively at Wagga last week. SPIRIT OF ARION (3) is stepping up in class but he was giving the leaders a healthy start coming up to the bell lap and did very well to get the job done last week so he is capable of featuring prominently again. ARGGGHHH (6) finished off hard when a game second behind Jilliby Willow last week. He is poorly drawn but is back to his best form and is worth a ticket each way. HES CHARLIES ANGEL (5) raced without cover and fought on well for second behind SPYGLASS (9) last week. He has claims along with the fast beginners RAKERO SLAMMER (1) and WHERES SEGGY (2).   EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 9/ 3,6/ 1,2,5/ 4/ FIELD
