RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: TANGO TARA (8) has been competing against the Metropolitan FFA class and he won the Italian Cup earlier in the season so he appears to be beautifully graded against this line up. He hasn’t been at his best form recently but he gets his chance to return to winning form here. SPIRIT OF ARION (6) looms as the logical danger after his recent strong performances at Melton. He sustained a long run from the second half of the field when a close second at Melton two starts ago and finished off boldly to win (dead-heat) in a mile rate of 1.55.1 last outing. DESSIE GEE (4) is resuming since a Swan Hill victory in February and he hasn’t been to the trials but he is a smart horse when he is racing at his peak form so he must be kept safe. ROCCO AMERICANO (1) is rising in class on his latest performances but he possesses early speed and is drawn to receive every chance so he is not without a chance. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 2,3,4 RATINGS: 8/ 6/ 1,4/ 2,3
