RACE COMMENT
  OVERVIEW: ICANMOTOR (10) gave the leader a big start and there was a lot to like about the way he got to the line at his latest second so he is capable of going one better here. He won under similar conditions at Kilmore on October 10. AMBER ALERT (1) is perfectly drawn to suit her racing pattern and should give a bold showing. She worked out of the gate early then was shuffled back in the field mid-race when she didn’t have the best of luck at St Arnaud last week. TEX GOES BANG (7) only just failed to peg back Glens of Tekoa at Maryborough on November 06 and is usually competitive against this class so he is worth an investment. GO GEORGE GO (6) is a tough type and has claims along with SILKY SMOOTH EXCUSE (2).   EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 3 RATINGS: 10/ 1,7/ 6/ 2/ 9
