RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: RAGING WHITEBAIT (7) continues to build on his impressive record since coming from New Zealand and is a winning chance despite the wide draw. He was heavily supported last week and finished in second behind Captain Bellasario after progressing forward to find the lead shortly after the start. DESSIE GEE (5) attempted to lead throughout when a close third behind TIGER BAND WAGON (9) prior to a game second behind Bulletproof Boy in the Stampede. He is a short course specialist and should give another forward showing. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (1) ran a great race for third in the Autumn Gift at Menangle last week, where the winner Timmy Rictor paced an outstanding mile of 1.49.2 so he warrants consideration. ROCKANDANCE (3), RAKERO SLAMMER (4) and TIGER BAND WAGON (9) are all racing well enough to feature prominently. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 1,3,4,7 RATINGS: 5,7/ 1,3,9/ 4
