RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ALWAYS DANCING (6) commenced from the outside of the second line, made a lightning dash around the field to find the lead and was run down over the latter stages when third behind Thestatesman last week. He has been placed at his past nine starts (5 wins) and drops back to racing against his own age group this evening so he must be respected. CROCODILE SOCKS (4) continues to build on his consistent record and appears to be the likely leader. He pushed forward to find the lead and fought on strongly for third behind Cigano and ALWAYS DANCING (6) at his latest attempt. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (8) performed below expectations ($1-90 fav) at his latest sixth but he won at his two attempts prior and should be competitive against this line up. RUFF NUT (1) and IN AN IDEAL WORLD (7) are both worth thought in multiple combinations. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 6,7 RATINGS: 6/ 4/ 8/ 1,7/ 2
