RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: NEATNTIDY (6) finished off strongly but not as fast as the winner Sweet Ideal when a handy second two starts ago then was doing his best work at the end when seventh (6m) behind All Da Rage last week. He is racing in good form and this race is slightly easier so he must be considered as one of the leading chances. RANGER RICK (12) is a very fast pacer and excelled after being given the perfect trip when he dashed home to win at Hamilton last outing. He prefers to be drawn on the front line where he can utilize his brilliant gate speed but he is racing too well to dismiss. THE SPORTZ STAR (4) worked out of the gate before taking cover and battled on well for a close second at Stawell. He recorded a mile rate of 1.54.4 when he scored at Charlton three starts ago and is drawn to run a good race again. BIZZNESS CLASS (13) progressed forward to race without cover and battled on bravely for second behind All Da Rage last week. This race is of similar standard and he is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 3,4 RATINGS: 6/ 4,12/ 13/ 1,2,8
