RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: The open class event appears to be a match between CANTFINDABETTORMAN (7) and BETTER ECLIPSE (8). BETTER ECLIPSE (8) hasn’t had much luck at his recent performances and was very brave when third in the Kilmore Cup. He couldn’t work into the race from the second half of the field in the Victoria Cup but sectionally, his effort was very good so he must be rated highly. CANTFINDABETTORMAN (7) struck trouble and lost his chance in the Smoken Up Sprint then appreciated the slightly easier grade at his past two big victories. He is versatile and will make his presence felt. TRIPLE EIGHT (6) did very well last week after being caught wide in the second half of the field in the early stages then progressing forward to race without cover. He is usually competitive against this class and is worth thought again. EXOTIC BUSHRANGER (1) was a strong winner against easier grade last outing and KOSIMO (3) has hit the line strongly at his past two attempts. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 4,5 RATINGS: 7,8/ 6/ 1/ 2,3
