RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: OHSO KINKY (9) is resuming since a tenth at Mildura in May. He led throughout to win at Globe Derby two starts ago and he was a runaway trial winner at Gawler recently so a bold showing is expected first up. BETTER BLUE BOYS (8) battled on well for third at Charlton two starts ago then followed with an eighth at Bendigo. He will find this race to be a little easier and he should finish off strongly from his trailing draw. NANNA HELEN (3) is resuming since March but she performed well at a recent Mildura trial effort when second behind Kialla Kid so she must be respected. NOOSA BOY (2), THE AFRICAN QUEEN (4) and CAULONIA BELLA (5) are all worth thought in another open betting event. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 6 RATINGS: 9/ 3,8/ 5/ 2,4
