RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: YOUNG BLUEY (4) began quickly and eventually found the lead when he trounced his rivals in track record time in the St Arnaud Cup. He finished third in the 4&5yo Championship prior so he appears to be extremely hard to beat again. LAYDEN (1) possesses a powerful finishing burst and he will be very dangerous if he can land the position behind the leader without having to do too much work in the early stages. ROARFORROSCOE (6) worked hard to move up without cover and ran another game race when second behind We Bettor Believe It at Geelong. He is awkwardly drawn again but he is a tough competitor and should give another bold showing. RUBINS PLIGHT (8) and DHAULAGIRI (9) both performed gallantly in the St Arnaud Cup and should go well again from their trailing draw. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 3,6,7 RATINGS: 4/ 1,6/ 8,9/ 7,11,12/ FIELD
