RACE COMMENT
Star pacer SWAYZEE (2) showed how lethal he is when in front by demolishing his rivals in the Renshaw Cup at Penrith last start and he draws to lead again. Luckless when fourth in the Miracle Mile two back and will relish the longer distance having won all four times he has attempted it here. Hard to tip against him. MAX DELIGHT (3) has had four weeks off since a brave fifth in the Miracle Mile but has been kept up to the mark with a trial win. Classy pacer who looks the only likely danger with the aid of a good draw. FIRE FOX (5) comes up against a couple of topliners but he is working up to a win having placed in his last two outings here. PETES SAID SO (1) has had wide or second row barriers of late so can be more competitive from the ace draw.
