Race comment
OVERVIEW: FIRE FOX (5) was beaten by a long way at his latest attempt but he was taking on the Inter Dominion class horses in the 4 + 5yo Championship so he is likely to find this assignment to be much easier. He finished second behind Spirit of St Louis in the Wondai’s Mate Classic during the Queensland Winter Carnival, which is a strong form pointer for this event. BERNIE WINKLE (6) finished off quickly to win over OZZIE BATTLER (3) in a claiming event three starts ago and the small field of six runners should suit his racing pattern considering he possesses a powerful finishing burst. KHAKI NUI (2) led throughout and recorded fast time at Mildura last outing and should go well again. OZZIE BATTLER (3) is a brilliant beginner, the Emma Stewart prepared FRANCO HAMPTON (1) is perfectly drawn and SHORTYS MATE (4) is capable of sprinting to the line quickly with the right trail forward so a case can be made for all six of the runners competing in this event.

OVERVIEW: FIRE FOX (5) was beaten by a long way at his latest attempt but he was taking on the Inter Dominion class horses in the 4 + 5yo Championship so he is likely to find this assignment to be much easier. He finished second behind Spirit of St Louis in the Wondai’s Mate Classic during the Queensland Winter Carnival, which is a strong form pointer for this event. BERNIE WINKLE (6) finished off quickly to win over OZZIE BATTLER (3) in a claiming event three starts ago and the small field of six runners should suit his racing pattern considering he possesses a powerful finishing burst. KHAKI NUI (2) led throughout and recorded fast time at Mildura last outing and should go well again. OZZIE BATTLER (3) is a brilliant beginner, the Emma Stewart prepared FRANCO HAMPTON (1) is perfectly drawn and SHORTYS MATE (4) is capable of sprinting to the line quickly with the right trail forward so a case can be made for all six of the runners competing in this event.
