RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LOOK LIKE DIAMONDS (4) is a classy mare that produced a big performance to win after working hard from the outside of the second line at her first run since October. She was competitive against the best of her age group last season and is much better drawn for this assignment so a bold showing is expected. SIR JIMMY (13) performed below expectations after leading out then taking cover in the Melton Plate but his form prior was strong and this race is easier so he is worth another chance. MY UNCLE STAN (10) produced a big finish to defeat BLAKE BOLAC (12) two starts ago then got too far back from an awkward draw at his latest handy finishing seventh. He is racing in good form and is worth an investment. TRIPLE ROCK SAINT (2), JACCKA CONNOR (3), RAKAJED (9) and BLAKE BOLAC (12) all have claims in a quality race.   EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader) 2,3,5 RATINGS: 4/ 13/ 10/ 9,12/ 2,3,8
