RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: GOLDEN SHOOZ (2) smart filly that will strip much fitter from her first up effort. Drawn ideally here and should be fighting out the finish.  OUR ROCKER (8) is unbeaten from three race starts to date and shows loads of ability. First up since December and expect a big showing. STEEL RULER (1) capable pacer resuming since May, drawn to get an ideal trip and might present as a major threat. CHASING REX (9) is racing well and is never far away. Drawn to get a good trail and looks suited here. Must be respected.  DANCE AFFAIR (10) has been in good form and should work into this nicely and be running on late. Not out of it. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,4 RATINGS: 2/ 8/ 1/ 9/ 10
