RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (6) worked hard to lead and went down fighting when a game second in the Veterinary Surgeons Cup at Globe Derby last week. He competed in the South Australian Cup three starts ago and has performed well at Melton previously so he appears to be hard to beat. TERROR EYES (2) didn’t seem to handle the track at St Arnaud and had excuses when seventh last outing. He was placed at his five starts prior including victories at Maryborough and Ballarat so he must be given another chance. MIRAKURU (8) is awkwardly drawn but he has bounced back to his best form recently with a fast finishing third followed by a strong second behind the in-form pacer Wattlebank Arnie. He appears to be well placed against this line up and will be hard to hold out if he gets the right luck in running. GIVE DAVE A WAVE (3) and DRESSED IN GOLD (9) finished first and second respectively in the Yarra Valley Cup last outing so they must be included amongst the leading hopes. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 1,2 RATINGS: 6/ 2,8/ 9/ 3/ 4,7
