Race Overview

Tricky race. If MR WATERVILLE (3) runs up to what he did last start, he should take a power of beating. Fourth in the G3 Geelong Cup, beaten half a length reads very well. He's a proper staying type who will be hard to hold out late. SUPAGIRL (7) was dominant taking out the Horsham Cup last start, winning by 5.5 lengths. She should have no issue with this longer trip and will be hard to catch with 53kg and Linda Meech sticking. INSULATION (12) has always promised plenty of talent but has been beaten his past two. He's still lightly raced with a strong record so it'll be no shock to see him keep improving. REBEL RACER (2) faded in the G2 Herbert Power Stakes last start but had run well prior at Mornington. He's an Adelaide Cup winner that can stay well on his day. LONG ARM (8) might be ready to show something now.
