Race comment
OVERVIEW: Dynamic and brilliant as he was at his first run back with Emma Stewart last start, tonight represents a far trickier assignment for scintillating sit-sprinter SIRLETIC (6). Let’s be clear here, there’s no doubt in the world SIRLETIC (6) rates clearly on top and should win with comfort, but unless there’s a tactical re-jig – and there might be – he’ll likely settle last in a walking-race over Melton’s short-course trip so there will be obstacles to overcome. There are also some pretty lovely horses to run past in the lane. In no particular order, they are BERNIE WINKLE (5), fresh-up Claiming newcomer SAHARA SIROCCO (3) and also SICARIO (2). It isn’t forgotten that OZZIE BATTLER (1) won a very similar affair to this at Bendigo five starts back but he’ll need all the favours and then some to replicate that success tonight.

Let’s be clear here, there’s no doubt in the world SIRLETIC (6) rates clearly on top and should win with comfort, but unless there’s a tactical re-jig – and there might be – he’ll likely settle last in a walking-race over Melton’s short-course trip so there will be obstacles to overcome.
