RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FOLLOWTHEACE (7) has returned from a spell in outstanding form with two impressive victories, the latest being in the Echuca Cup, where he progressed forward to find the lead and scored by a large margin. This race is no harder and he is clearly the horse to beat again. WEMADE FREO (6) endured a tough run and had excuses last outing. He settled midfield on the markers and finished off well for fourth in the Gunbower Cup prior so he is not without a chance. BUBBY TO BASE (3) performed below expectations last outing but she was an impressive winner at Wagga in a mile rate of 1.52.4 on November 22 so she is worth another chance. CHANGEOVER GIRL (2) is capable of sprinting to the line quickly with the right trail forward and is a minor place chance from her good draw. EARLY SPEED: 7 (possible leader), 3 RATINGS: 7/ 3,6/ 2/ 5/ 4/ 1
