RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HOPPY (7) is a very talented 4yo trotter, which produced a very tidy performance to win at Bendigo last outing after he began slowly from the standing start. He is building up a consistent record and appears to be one of the leading chances again. MEGA SPUR (9) motored across from the outside of the front line to find the lead, set up a genuine tempo and was run down at the end when sixth against the open class last week. She finished second in the Mares Sprint Championship prior and this race is easier so she must be respected. DOSSIER (4) progressed forward from a wide alley to race without cover and battled on well for third behind Keayang Kurki at Bendigo last outing. She continues to race consistently and should give another forward showing here. FOUROUTOFFIVE (8) will appreciate a drop back in class on his recent performances and rates as a value chance. EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 1,6,7 RATINGS: 7/ 9/ 4,8/ 5,6/ 10
