RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: THE CHOOK (3) chased hard when second behind Tictok last outing and should give a forward showing from her good draw. She is a speedy type and is usually competitive against this class. USED TO BE A MAID (9) is resuming from a break but she has performed well at the trials and she was competing in much stronger races at the end of her last campaign so she is not without a chance. MAJESTIC MONARCH (2) is stepping up in class from his past two attempts but he has retuned from a spell in peak form with two strong victories and he is drawn to be prominent throughout. GLENGARRY RED (1), YANKEE LOVER (6) and WATCH AND ACT (7) all have claims in an open race.   EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 1,3,4 RATINGS: 3,9/ 6/ 1,2,7/ 5
