RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PROMISE DREAM (5) won at Kilmore four starts ago and he finished off solidly for second behind Imperial Command in a slick mile rate of 1.56.6 last week. He also sustained a flat tyre so his effort was extremely good and he is capable of going one better here. WORTH WAITING (6) has won three of her past four starts and is one of the leading chances again. She worked to the front, set up a slow tempo and held off her rivals to score at Melton last outing. She is not as well drawn now but she is building up a good record. DOSSIER (3) was a winner Kilmore on July 03 and her overall form has been sound. She is versatile and should be prominent throughout from her good draw. OX KNOX (2) is racing consistently and is worth a ticket each way from his good draw.  EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible early leader), 2,3,6 RATINGS: 5,6/ 2,3/ 7
