RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CATALPA RESCUE (6) was a big winner of the Charlton Cup then went to Mildura and finished second in the Cup Final. He is very versatile and should be very competitive again. ROCKNROLL HAMMER (7) attempted to lead throughout when a close second behind Catch A Wave in the Geelong Rocket. He faces a negative swing with the barrier draw but he is racing too well to dismiss. TRIPLE EIGHT (11) recorded a sizzling mile rate of 1.52.9 at Geelong three starts ago. He has a great record at open class level and will be hitting the line strongly. SAHARA BREEZE (8) is a very fast mare that is resuming since October. She has been performing nicely at the trials and is worth thought despite the poor draw. CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (4) and TANGO TARA (10) are racing in great form and cannot be left of calculations. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible early leader), 4,6,7 RATINGS: 6,7/ 11/ 4,8/ 10
