RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: THE HIGHLIGHT REEL (2) easily won a heat of the New South Wales Derby then followed with a third in the Final behind his star stable mate Always Hot, where he led early, galloped and ended up being behind the leader at the 1800m. He is clearly the class runner of the field and will take beating. STORMS COLLIDE (4) won a heat of the New South Wales Derby then followed with a tenth in the Final. He enjoyed a very good juvenile season having been placed in six of his seven starts and he looms as the main rival to THE HIGHLIGHT REEL (2). GOLDEN TRIBE (3) is a fast beginner and is racing in peak form so he is a definite place chance. SANCHEZ (6) was runner up in the New South Wales Breeders Challenge last season and competed during the Bathurst Gold Crown Carnival over the past two weeks so he cannot be dismissed. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 3,4,6 RATINGS: 2/ 4/ 3,6/ 5/ 1
