RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CRIME WRITER (3) won the Ouyen Cup three starts ago then dashed along the sprint lane to win at Melton. He commenced from the second line and had no luck whatsoever when sixth at Melton last week so he is worth another chance. KISS (13) was resuming since winning the Breeders Crown in November when a big winner over Smoken Ace on May 24. This is another step up in class but she has built up a terrific strike rate since coming from New Zealand and she should be competitive again. METEOR MOTH (12) endured a tough run and appeared to be under pressure in the home straight but kept on kicking when a strong winner at Melton last outing. He boasts the excellent strike rate of eight wins from just eleven starts and is tough enough to overcome the poor draw. FRUGAL FARE (4) is stepping up in class from his latest performances but he is shooting for six wins in succession and is worth thought again. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (1), DESSIE GEE (7) and LE BELLE BIJOUX (10) all have claims in a quality race.   EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely early leader), 2,3,4,7 RATINGS: 3,13/ 12/ 1,4,10/ 7/ FIELD
