GOING:

ROD DEMMLER MEMORIAL PACE 2210m

Track: GOOD      

LOTAKEVI (2) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1720m at Melton, beaten 6 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Tackles a similar assignment, and he can grab that well-deserved win. CAPTAIN BOAK (3) finished sixth last start, beaten 30 metres at Cranbourne over 1609m. Has the ability and should be right in the finish. TOO THE MAX (4) is worth thought after finishing fourth first-up over 1609m at Geelong last time out. OCEANIQUE (5) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at Cranbourne. Each way value.

Didn't impress first-up beaten 30 m sixth but did show some early speed, behind Foresight at Cranbourne over 1609m in a 0-1 WIN on June 1. Can improve enough to take this out.
