RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LOVE TO DEAL (1) settled midfield on the markers, moved to the outside on the home turn and finished off well for a distant second at Globe Derby last outing. She is much better drawn for this assignment and her last win was at Mildura back in April so she must be considered from the pole position. NIGHT SAFARI (7) was very heavily supported and attempted to lead throughout when third behind Dark Sands at Mildura last outing. He has the perfect trailing draw behind LOVE TO DEAL (1) so he is worth thought again. KEAYANG CRIPPA (10) circled around the field to race without cover when third behind Cheers Poverty at Mildura last outing. He has been placed in three of his past five starts against similar grade and should run his usual honest race. BELLA ABBY (5) endured a tough run when fifth behind Daylight at Mildura last outing. She was runner up three times in succession back in April/May and she is capable of running into a place again. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 3,5 RATINGS: 1/ 7,10/ 5/ 2,9
