RACE COMMENT
  OVERVIEW: KEAYANG CRIPPA (10) was beaten a fair way when fourth as favourite last start but might be suited from the trailing draw in this with a bit of speed from the front tier. COURTNEY KATARINA (5) has been knocking on the door in most of her recent starts but only beat three home last time so it will be interesting to see whether she runs to that form or her very consistent prior form. BEARTASTIC WRITER (3) may lead over ROBERT CROCKA (6) which would help his cause and that pair rate next.   EARLY SPEED: 1? 3 (Leader?), 4, 5? 6 RATINGS: 10 / 5 / 3 / 6 / 2 / 7 / 11 / 9 / 4 / 1 / 8
