RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: DESSIE GEE (3) showed plenty of early speed last start and gave a great sight and was just run down over the concluding stages. Can give a big sight again here. LETSROCKLETSROLL (9) has been bursting to win and will be unleashing his big finishing sprint late. A strong chance. Both CORRAVALLY STAR (7) and OPERATIVE LINE (8) have been racing against stronger company and just need some luck from their tricky draws to pose as major threats. FIRST DANCE (4) talented mare resuming and can run well fresh here. WATTLEBANK ARNIE (5) top win last start in slick times and no reason why he can’t run well again here. MAJOR MEISTER (6) MONGIANA (1) and CEMETRY BAY (2) are first four hopes. EARLY SPEED: 2,3,4 RATINGS: 3/ 9/ 7/ 8/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 1/ 2
