RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CIGANO (3) was resuming since a fifth in the Protostar when he scored comfortably in a mile of 1.54.7 at Geelong. He is a quality colt and finished fourth in the Final of this series last year so he must be respected. APOLLOSTORM (1) produced a career best performance when he won by nearly thirty metres and recorded a slick mile rate of 1.53.7 at Melton last week. He is perfectly drawn and should give another bold showing. ITS CONFIDENTIAL (7) brilliantly won a heat of the Bathurst Gold Chalice in a super mile rate of 1.51.2 then struck trouble in the Final ($2-50 fav). He has won eight of his eleven starts to date and will go well again but the extreme draw is a disadvantage. IM ALL BUSINESS (2) has been performing well at the trials and is a place chance from his good draw. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 3,4,7 RATINGS: 1,3/ 7/ 2/ 4/ 5,6
