RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: NAKULA (3) was resuming since July when she led throughout in a mile rate of 1.57.2 at Kilmore last week. She is a good chance of finding the lead again and she should be fitter so she is worth an investment. MAAS BETTING AGAIN (2) found the front and battled on well for second behind Quaddie VC in a mile rate of 1.55.7 at Yarra Valley last outing. She is drawn to gain a prominent position again and is worth a ticket each way. INDIGO DANCER (7) has returned from a long spell in dynamic form having won at her two attempts in mile rate rates of 1.56.1 and 1.55.1. She possesses a powerful finishing burst and is worth thought again. KATHYS FREE (6) is racing consistently and has claims along with MOST TRIUMPHANT (8) and SNOW HUNTER (9). EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 2,4 RATINGS: 3/ 2,7/ 6,8/ 9
