RACE COMMENT
MARVELLOUS MAC (1) showed good early speed last start to drive through and lead comfortably and was able to lead all the way scoring an easy win. He has previously rated good time over this distance when out in front. Should be hard to catch again in this race. BETTERTHAN POPSY (5) ran second last start in a quick mile rate at this track behind Cote Dazur. He is likely suited by the step up to 2040 given his near outside front row draw and likely position back in the field. Can be running on late.  STORYTELLER (6) took on a strong race last start over the mile at Albion Park where Our Goat rated fast time in winning. He has been improving gradually and dropping back in class in this race if it is run to suit, he can be getting into it late.  SHADES OF HEAVEN (2) was well driven two starts ago to secure a good run and score at this track in good time. He is having his second start for the stable of Grant Dixon and is one that could be running into it late if able to secure the right run.
