RACE COMMENT
Sent around them from a second line gate last time out, BIRKIRKARA (5) was asked to do all the heavy lifting and was game in defeat wen 7m from the winner PATH TO GREATNESS. Thrust into open company the start prior, back to this company can see him bounce back to winning form. AIR EXPRESS (6) eased from a wide gate in the Queensland Sun last start and from back in the pack, always faced a huge task, with all the power from the front. A winner at his previous three in succession, including a smart win from outside the front line, he will challenge. ROCKET CITY (7) is two from two since arriving in Qld but faces a sterner test in this small lineup. Tough form this gate first up and first over, he dictated last time for an easy victory. MAJOR JELLIS (2) has hit the board at his past four in succession, the latest when making a late raid on the passing lane. Settling handy in the small field will help his podium claims.
