RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: QUIET STORM (1) worked very hard and ran a big race despite finishing sixth (7m) in a slick mile rate of 1.53.3 at his latest attempt. He is drawn to receive every chance here so he appears to be a good value bet. WE BETTOR BELIEVE IT (5) was resuming since July 2023 when he led out then took cover and defeated a good field in a mile rate of 1.55.0 at Geelong. He should have benefited from the run and must be considered as a winning chance again. WATTLEBANK ARNIE (8) is a very handy sprinter, which won four races in succession prior to a second at Wagga. He appeared to have his chance last time but the leader did run a last quarter of 26.6 seconds and he is drawn behind a fast beginner here so he is capable of returning to winning form. HOT DEAL (10) has a tough draw to overcome but he is a very strong pacer that bounced back to winning form at Mildura last time out and is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 3,5,6 RATINGS: 1,5/ 8/ 6,10/ 9
