RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BIG SLEDGE HAMMER (9) was a big winner last start after an encouraging run first up and should be hard to hold out again despite a second row draw. VINCE LOMBARDI (1) honest performer that will appreciate an improved draw and from the pole position should be in this for a long way. GOOD TOBE LOCKSLEY (10) quirky pacer with ability but can do things wrong. Providing he produces his best manners he’s capable of being in the finish. HONEST HARIETTE (3) racing well and should settle handy and be in striking range. Amongst the chances are EPIC ORION (6) DANGER PLAY (5) and NINEDOLLA TOASTIE (4). EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3,4 RATINGS: 9/ 1/ 10/ 6/ 5
