RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HARRY STAMPER (6) was slow away from his handicap of 30m and did very well to finish as close as he did when fourth behind Harold Smith last week. He does possess very good gate speed when he is able to put it altogether and he is racing in good form so he may take catching. ALDEBARAN ACRUX (3) ran a brave race for second behind I’m Ready Jet in the Sumthingaboutmaori FFA last outing. She continues to race consistently at a high level and is one of the leading chances again. ALDEBARAN ZEUS (7) followed a fifth in the Hammerhead Mile at Menangle with a game third behind Arcee Phoenix in the Scotch Notch Memorial. He should go well despite the extreme draw. WATTS UP PARTYTIME (8) won the Great Southern Star earlier in the season and sustained a long run to win last week so he must be rated highly. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 1,2,5,7 RATINGS: 3,6/ 7,8/ 9/ 10/ 2,5
