RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HIGH FLUX (4) sustained a long run from the 600m mark and scored impressively at Shepparton after a fast finishing third behind Always Be Blakey. He is racing in peak form and looms as one of the leading chances again. JILLIBY TIDALWAVE (1) is rising in class but has been placed at her past eight starts and is likely to end up being behind the leader so she is worth an investment. She worked home nicely for third behind Ted at Bendigo last outing. ROCKABILLY RINGO (3) is a fast beginner and is suited to racing over the sprint distance. He finished off well for third behind Ruff Nut (won again since) at Melton two weeks ago then attempted to lead throughout at his latest sixth. CURYO GENTLEMAN (13) is poorly drawn over the sprint distance but he produced a big performance to win at Ballarat last outing, where he pushed forward to race without cover in a mile rate of 1.55.2. He has winning claims along with DANCE AFFAIR (12), which appears to be well graded in this event. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,5,6 RATINGS: 4/ 1,3,12/ 12/ 6,8/ 9
