RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: OPERATIVE LINE (3) is a fast beginner and has been racing at Metropolitan open class level so he appears to be a good value bet. He finished off well when fourth behind the in-form pacer Yambukian at his latest performance. ALOT LIKE LOUIE (1) is stepping up in class but is racing in great form and must be considered as a winning chance. He finished off boldly when second behind Diamond Eclipse at Wagga last outing. SOME AMERICAN (5) enjoyed an outstanding 3yo season but he hasn’t really fired this term being unplaced in all of his five starts. He progressed forward to race without cover when fourth behind CLYMENUS (2) last week and his chances will be enhanced if he can find the lead around the first turn. LOUIE LOU I (10) is racing consistently and hit the line strongly at his latest third so he is not without a chance. LE BELLE BIJOUX (7), JUSTALITTLESIP (8) and ROADMASTER (9) are all capable of figuring in the finish. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 5 RATINGS: 3/ 1,5/ 10/ 7,9/ 8
