RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CEE CEE LOU (9) won twice in succession prior to contesting the South Australian Derby series, where he was placed in a heat and finished sixth in the Final. He endured a tough run at St Arnaud last outing and is worth another chance. MARLO MAREAU (1) worked hard throughout and had excuses when fifth at Bendigo last outing. She ran home well for second at Wagga prior and she scored impressively at Swan Hill on October 01 so she must be included amongst the leading chances. NINEDOLLA TOASTIE (3) is a speedy mare that is likely to settle in a trailing position close to the speed. She was without cover early before gaining a one out and one back trail at the bell when a handy second behind Feel The Reign at Kilmore last week. HAVADASH JOH (6) is stepping up from the maiden class but he did record a mile rate of 1.54.9 at his debut performance so he obviously has a promising future. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible early leader), 5,7 RATINGS: 1,9/ 3/ 6/ 5,10,12
