    Race Analysis

    ACTIVE DUTY (1) is having his first run since winning by a long neck seven weeks ago over 1m2f at Colac. Has transferred to the Dick Leech stable over the break. Bright prospects. MAGIC DEFENSE (3) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when third over 1m at this track, beaten a neck after making up late ground. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Will enjoy a drop in class so she will prove hard to beat. PRINCESS PANCAKES (4) is a locally trained mare who sat on the pace last time and fought on well when a long neck away in fourth over 1m at this track. Leading player again. FLYING START (5) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 1. 5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1m at this track. Has been knocking on the door and he must be respected.
