RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MAORIS MAC (11) is resuming since a third behind the star filly Keayang Zahara in the Victoria Oaks in October but she has had a few quiet trials at Shepparton and should be hitting the line strongly. BITTA IRISH LUCK (6) dropped out to a rearward position from a similar wide draw and finished off boldly for third behind Susan Is Her Name at Melton last outing. She is a consistent mare and is worth a ticket each way. MISTER BLINDSIDE (10) is resuming since a close second in the Breeders Crown Final in November. He will be fitter after two recent trial efforts, the latest being a second at Melton so he must be respected. ALDEBARAN DEMI (2), DESTRIER (4), KEAYANG LAVITA (9) and PICKET WIRE (12) are all capable of showing up without surprising in another race of great depth. EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 1,2 RATINGS: 6,10,11/ 9/ 2,4/ 12/ 8
