RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PERUN (5) is a former New Zealand pacer, which joins trainer Jamie Kirk and will be fitter after a second behind Rakajed at a Cranbourne trial effort last week. He was racing well against handy opposition across the Tasman and his latest Addington victory was over 2600m so he should be competitive under these conditions. LUVA SCRAP (13) is terribly drawn but he has been in very good form and he put in a brave performance when second behind the in-form pacer Frugal Fare last week so he warrants respect. NEATNTIDY (12) is stepping up in class but he was able to dash home in a sizzling final quarter of 26.8 seconds to win at Swan Hill last outing so he cannot be underestimated. THESTATESMAN (10) is resuming since a second in the Super Series Silver event in September but he won a trial over Nakula at Melton recently so he can go well first up. EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible early leader), 5,7 RATINGS: 5/ 12,13/ 4,10/ 7
