RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SKINNYDIP (9) was resuming since May when he settled ninth on the markers, was blocked for a run for the majority of the straight and had little luck for ninth (7m) behind Spirit of Arion last week. He is a smart horse when racing at his peak form and he should be fitter from that run so he appears to be a good value bet. ROCKNROLL WALLA (10) led out, took cover and used the sprint lane to win at Geelong last outing. He faces a negative swing in the barrier draw but he is versatile and should be competitive again. TILLY JAYNE (4) will appreciate a drop back in class on her latest sixth in the Victoria Oaks. All of her recent performances have been in either Super Series or Victoria Oaks events so she should improve on her numerical form under these conditions. BETA THAN LOVE (2) held his own in the straight when fourth in a slowly run race and a dash home last week. He is a value hope along with Young Bluey, which had no clear run last week. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely early leader), 3,4,5,6 RATINGS: 9/ 4,10/ 2/ 6,7/ 5
