RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BETA THAN LOVE (9) finished second behind Another Nien in a stronger race at Melton last outing and he hasn’t enjoyed the best of luck recently so he is worth an investment. The interesting runner is the former Tasmanian pacer HERAKLES (4), which is resuming since a fourth in the Raider Stakes Final at Launceston in July. He boasts a consistent record and must be kept safe for his Victorian debut. BIG SLEDGE HAMMER (3) is stepping up in class but has struck peak form having won at his past two attempts. He possesses early pace and is a good chance of finding the lead so he must be respected. THE IRON DUKE (6) continues to improve with the benefit of experience and was driven aggressively to win at Cobram last outing so he must be included amongst the leading chances. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 2,4,7 RATINGS: 4,9/ 3/ 6,7/ 1,5
