RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MYNAMEISRUBY (8) worked forward to find the lead and peaked late when sixth at Bendigo last outing. She scored after trailing the leader prior and most of her best runs have come from that position so she looks perfectly placed from the inside of the second line behind the fast beginner in SNAZOLA (1). SNAZOLA (1) endured a tough run and had excuses when seventh at Kilmore last outing. She scored against similar grade at Ballarat on April 17 and should give a bold showing from her ideal draw. ALCATRAZ GIRL (10) produced a career best performance when she led throughout and posted a mile rate of 1.56.4 at Geelong last outing. She faces a negative swing with the barrier draw but a repeat of her latest performance would see her being very competitive in this event. MIDNITE DESIRE (5) missed out last outing but was a winner at Geelong three starts ago and is worth an investment. MICTON MOUSE (3), ONA MERRY DANCE (4) and LAVADA GOLD (9) are all capable of showing up without surprising.   EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 3,5,6 RATINGS: 1,8/ 5,10/ 3,4,9/ 6
