    Race Analysis

    KOBAN (14) is a three-year-old filly by Maurice out of The Closer on debut for the Ben, Will & Jd Hayes stable. Placed in a recent trial at Echuca. Should measure up. Keep a close eye on betting. CUTTIN' CLASS (4) is a five-start maiden who finished 12th at his most recent appearance over 6½f at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. Set Weights IFT STATEMENT (10) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time, beaten 4 lengths over 6f at Ballarat. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Should be involved in the finish. KIJIVU (3) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start over 6f at Horsham, beaten a head. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
