RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FOX DAN (4) progressed forward to race without cover when a big winner in a strong mile rate of 1.54.0 (2240m) at Melton last outing. He is building up an imposing strike rate and is clearly the horse to beat again. JUSTALITTLESIP (9) sprinted sharply from midfield and won clearly over Arggghhh and LE BELLE BIJOUX (7) at Melton last outing. He gets into this race nicely with a concession claim and is worth thought again. SURFINGMAKESCENTS (3) finished off strongly when second behind FOX DAN (4) last outing. She has performed well in her four starts since resuming from a long break and looms as one of the leading chances again. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (6) put together three straight victories prior being shuffled back on the markers and using the sprint lane in the home straight at his latest fifth. He is a speedy pacer and warrants respect. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 2,3,6 RATINGS: 4/ 9/ 3,6/ 7/ 5
