RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FAITH FULL (5) trailed the leader and finished off best to score at Charlton last outing. She has done well in three starts back from a break and looms as one of the leading chances again. SILVER SPOON (6) is resuming since an unplaced effort at Shepparton in March but she was runner up at a recent Menangle trial performance and strikes a suitable assignment first up. MONTANA MUSCLE (2) is a fast beginner and finished third after trailing the leader throughout last week. She is drawn to gain a trail just off the speed again so she must be respected. TAKEN BY WINE (1) is another fast beginner that should be prominent throughout and KALARNEY PRINCE (3) is usually competitive against this class. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 2,3,5 RATINGS: 5/ 6/ 2,3/ 1/ 4,7
