RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: A TRUE STORY (10) appreciated not commencing from a massive handicap when he finished off strongly for an eye-catching third behind Hoppy at Bendigo. His form in New Zealand was sound so he is worth a ticket each way. SER PATRICK (8) has the perfect trailing draw behind the likely leader and he was a runaway winner in handy time at the Maryborough trials on Sunday so a big showing is expected first up. IMPERIAL COMMAND (1) is stepping up in class but he possesses early speed and he has won three of out of his past four starts. He led throughout to win quite comfortably at Ballarat last outing so he is worth thought again. EL RESAMO (9) has been racing against stronger opposition recently and is capable of improving on his numerical form. WORTH WAITING (3) was resuming since a seventh in the Super Series Final when she scored softly at Echuca. This is much harder than the first up run but she is very promising and is not to be underestimated. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 4,7 RATINGS: 10/ 1,8/ 3,9/ 5,7
