RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BENNIE AND THE JETS (1) was resuming since an unplaced run in a heat of the Great Southern Star when he came from a rearward position in a leader dominated race and finished a creditable fourth at Bendigo. He won a trial prior and he should be getting fitter so he must be respected. ZAREM (8) is resuming since March but he has been performing well at the Bendigo trials and he possesses a powerful finishing burst so he is not without a chance. HATCHBACK (9) was resuming since September when he attempted to lead throughout and performed below expectations behind Watts Up Partytime. He should be fitter, possesses a good standing start record and will appreciate a big drop back in class so he is worth another chance. CHAMPAGNE CHARLEY (3) made an error last outing but his form prior was sound so he is worth thought. MAESTRO (6) and TRIPOD (7) are also racing well enough to be competitive if they receive the right luck in running. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 3,6 (10m) RATINGS: 1/ 8,9/ 3,6,7/ 2
