RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LAMBRO MACH (4) makes his debut for trainer Andy Gath after victories in the Golden Nursery Stakes and the Lordship Stakes in South Australia. He was an impressive Melton trial winner recently so he must be considered as a strong winning chance. OKANUI BEACH (6) has also been impressive at the trials recently and he won the Dandy Patch Stakes in Tasmania last season so he cannot be underestimated. He is a strong pacer and is building up a good record. The classy mare MONA MIA (9) appears to be very well graded in this event and she worked home well for a distant third in a slick mile rate of 1.53.2 at Melton last outing. She should be hitting the line strongly from her trailing draw. SUNSET STRIDE (8) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and is a possible improver. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 6 RATINGS: 4,6/ 9/ 8/ 2,7
