RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: DRAW A DREAM (1) battled on fairly for fourth behind Fighter Command last outing and scored at Melton when resuming. She has won nine of her fourteen starts to date and is perfectly drawn so she should give a forward showing. RAKERO SLAMMER (8) has the perfect trailing draw and was a winner in similar grade two starts ago so he is a winning chance via the sprint lane. FIRST DANCE (2) gained a nice trail and finished off best to defeat Tango Tara last week. She has worked back to her best form and is worth thought again. TIGER BAND WAGON (4) worked home well from a rearward position when eighth (9m) in a race of similar standard last week. His overall form is sound and he is worth a ticket each way. DESSIE GEE (6) and ROARFORROSCOE (7) are both talented pacers that are not without a chance and ARGGGHHH (9) rates as a value hope. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 2,4,6 RATINGS: 1/ 2,8/ 4,6/ 7,9/ 10
