RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: IM BOBBY (7) is racing in career best form and should go well again despite the poor draw. He recorded a sensational mile rate of 1.53.9 when he won at Melton two starts ago then travelled up to Menangle last week and scored effortlessly. PLYMOUTH CHUBB (4) was placed five times in succession prior to working hard and finishing seventh behind the Inter Dominion aspirant Arcee Phoenix at Melton. This is his easiest assignment for some time so he gets his chance to break through for a win. MUFASA METRO (2) was resuming since February when unplaced behind Arcee Phoenix on June 21. He will be fitter from that run and is drawn to find the lead again so he will take catching if he can return to his peak form. ALDEBARAN VERA (3) had her chance after leading last week but she met a smart one and is capable of filling a place again. IMPERIAL MONARCH (5) and ALDEBARAN ZEUS (6) are also capable of showing up without surprising. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 4,6,7 RATINGS: 7/ 2,4/ 3,6/ 5/ 1
