RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SCHEMING (5) was resuming since a sixth in the Super Series Silver event when she was driven aggressively and ran a brave race for third behind Followtheace. She should strip fitter from that run and must be considered as a winning chance. NOMORELYING (6) was headed off from the pole position and was shuffled back on the markers when unplaced at Shepparton last outing. His form prior was strong so he is worth another chance. HERAKLES (10) is a former Tasmanian pacer, which struck trouble at his Victorian debut. He finished fourth in the $60,000 Raider Stakes Final in Tasmania at his previous attempt so he must be respected. CLASSICALLY SMOOTH (8) attempted to lead throughout when second at Bendigo on Wednesday night. He finished quickly to defeat Harley Blue (won since) prior so he is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 2 RATINGS: 5/ 6,10/ 8/ 4/ 2,3
