RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: THE WISE GUY (9) was impressive winning first up and will strip further fitter here. Promising pacer and should prove hard to hold out. FORESIGHT (10) racing well and should be finishing off hard late here. Looks a threat. EVILEYE (7) great drive to win last start. Drawn wide again here and with a few breaks she can figure right in the finish again. Both VINCE LOMBARDI (5) and MAJOR CRUNCH (6) can take up forward positions to race on the speed and are definite chances. Both ROLLWITHARTY (1) and KEAYANG SHADOWBOX (8) will enjot soft trips and be doing ther best work late if the opneings appear. ANAKIN (3) tough pacer that will strip fitter and has claims. EARLY SPEED: 5,6 RATINGS: 9/ 10/ 7/ 1/ 8/ 5
