RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CANTFINDABETTORMAN (5) impressively won at his first two runs back from a spell then endured a tough trip when unplaced last week. He moves back to the front line this evening and should prove hard to beat. YOUNG BLUEY (11) has been very unlucky at his past three starts and should be hitting the line strongly. He was held up for a run at a vital stage and motored to the line when second behind Yambukian last week. RAKERO REBEL (2) was shuffled back on the markers and had no clear run when an unlucky fifth last week. She was placed at Group 1 level prior so she must be respected. FIGHTER COMMAND (7) has the imposing record of eleven wins from just sixteen starts and produced a big finish when he scored impressively at Menangle last outing. He is rising up to the open class this evening but he is capable of taking the next step forward. BULLETPROOF BOY (8) worked hard to find the lead and went down fighting when third behind Yambukian at Melton last week. He continues to build on his outstanding record and is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 5 (likely leader), 2,3 RATINGS: 5/ 2,11/ 7,8/ 1,10,12
