RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: DELIGHTFUL CHARM (9) was resuming since an unplaced effort in a heat of the Super Series in August when she settled in a rearward position from a poor draw and picked up ground for fifth at Kilmore. She should be fitter from that performance and strikes a suitable assignment now. SOMETUFFLUV (11) led throughout in a heat of the Ararat Cup then copped plenty of pressure in the leading role when unplaced in the Final. He had no luck in fast time last outing so he is worth another chance here despite the poor draw. MONTANA PRIDE (6) went back at the start from a wide alley, settled in a rearward position and was held up behind tiring horses leading up to the home turn so he had little luck at Swan Hill last outing. He finished off quickly to win in a mile rate of 1.57.9 at Ballarat three starts ago so he must be included amongst the leading chances. WICHITA KANSAS (2) and TOP GUN TED (5) are both racing well enough to warrant consideration.   EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 1,3,5,7 RATINGS: 9,11/ 6/ 2,5/ 7/ 10
