RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BULLETPROOF BOY (9) was returning from a strong Sydney campaign when he raced out three horses wide for most of the trip and produced a big effort to win the Stampede. He is racing in great form and should prove hard to beat again. YAMBUKIAN (6) endured a tough run and went down fighting when a brave third in the Geelong Rocket. He recently recorded a sizzling mile rate of 1.50.9 at a Bendigo victory so a bold showing is expected. CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (2) steps up to the open class for the first time but he boasts high speed and was impressive last week so he might be able to take the next step forward. BETTOR ISOLATE (5) is resuming since November but has the speed to be in the finish and TRIPLE EIGHT (11) will run his usual honest race. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 1,3,4,5,7 RATINGS: 6,9/ 2/ 5,11/ 1,7
