RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: APOLLOSTORM (10) was resuming since April when he led throughout and blitzed his rivals at Geelong. This race is much harder but he is a quality colt and must be respected. ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (1) will appreciate his best draw for a long time and he likes to run along at a genuine tempo so he will prove very hard to catch over the sprint distance. He posted victories in mile rates of 1.55.8 and 1.54.3 in two Melton victories back in June. HEZ ALL ROCK (3) worked to the front and tried to sneak away coming up to the home turn but broke stride momentarily when second behind the classy mare Sweet Ideal last outing. He is an honest performer and is drawn to give a bold showing. THE IRON DUKE (6) has been racing in good form and is nearing a win against this class. He came from a rearward position and finished fifth ($2-90 fav) behind All Da Rage at his latest attempt. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 3,7 RATINGS: 1,10/ 3/ 6/ 9,12/ 4,5
