RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (11) performed below expectations when unplaced at Geelong last outing but he is the class runner of the field and would take beating if he returned to his peak. He scored at Metropolitan level last campaign and he was runner up in a sizzling mile rate of 1.53.8 at Hamilton two starts ago. RUEBE STARBUCK (4) endured a tough run when second at Ballarat two starts ago then attempted to lead throughout when a close up fourth behind Dance Affair at Geelong last outing. She is a good chance of finding the lead again so she warrants respect. HITTHEROADJACK (9) appreciated a drop back in class when he was driven aggressively to find the lead and scored easily at Kilmore. This is a race of more depth but he is worth thought again. GIVE DAVE A WAVE (12) has been racing against stronger opposition and is capable of improving on his numerical form EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 2,3 RATINGS: 11/ 4,9/ 2,3,12/ 6,8,13
