RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: STORMRYDER (4) was a Group 1 winner as a juvenile and all of his five starts this season have been at feature level so he will appreciate this grade. He worked out of the gate, was shuffled back mid-race and finished solidly when seventh (8m) in the Victoria Derby at his latest attempt. OUR LUCIANO (2) finished eleventh in the Derby after settling down in last position from the extreme draw. He ran a cracking race for second in the Reg Withers Classic three starts ago and is much better drawn here so he must be considered as a winning chance. NATHAN STREET (5) raced fiercely and ended up finishing twelfth in the Derby. The drop back in distance is a definite advantage so he is worth another chance. The former New South Wales pacer COLLECTIVE WORKS (3) led throughout and trounced his rivals at his Victorian debut. This race is much harder but he was very impressive last time out. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 3 RATINGS: 4/ 2,5/ 3/ 1,6
