RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PRINCE OF ROCK (9) is a classy 4yo trotter that will take beating if he delivers a fool proof display. He ran a huge race when second behind The Locomotive in the Super Series Final then galloped at his next two attempts but he has won a trial since. KYVALLEYHONEYBUNNY (10) took on the open class when seventh behind Mufasa Metro two starts ago then finished off best to win at Geelong. She is a speedy mare and should be competitive again. LOVE YA BROTHER (2) finished off solidly for third at St Arnaud and was seemingly a winning chance when he broke stride in the home straight prior. He has ability when he is able to put it altogether so he warrants respect. HANOVER DA MOON (6) was running a big race before galloping on the home turn when fifth at Geelong. He has claims along with SUGA DADDY (1) and I DREAM OF MILLIE (8). EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible early leader), 4,6 RATINGS: 9/ 2,10/ 6,8/ 1
