RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HESASTAR (4) endured a torrid trip and had excuses when seventh last week. This is his easiest assignment for some time and he should be prominent throughout. PUNTO CALIENTE (8) was slow to begin and settled at the tail of the field when unplaced behind Night Spirit at Mildura last outing. He finished off strongly to win nicely at Mildura prior and he has won six races for the season so he is worth another chance. GLITZY ALL OVER (11) won three races in succession prior to a handy third behind She’s Poppy last week. She is racing in peak form and is one of the leading chances again. EGBERT (10) is shooting for three straight victories and is worth thought but he does tend to perform best when he is close to the lead so being drawn on the second line is a disadvantage. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 4 RATINGS: 4/ 8,11/ 1,10/ 6
