RACE COMMENT

ITS BACK PAGE NEWS (1) has plenty of gate speed and finds a race where she looks the leader and looks likely to get there having done less work than she has been forced to do in recent times. She is a long way back in grade off some of her better efforts and her best is easily good enough for a race of this nature.  ALWAYS LOCKSLEY (3) was forced to do the work outside the leader last start over the 2040 at this track and was well beaten. He had previously run well after doing the work and can bounce back in this race if he is able to reproduce one of his better efforts. HES SWEET (8) ran well last start at Albion Park when not beaten far despite racing off the pegs in 1.53.9. He should be able to secure a good run in this race close to the speed getting a good run through early.  REAL TIN TIN (7) looks likely to get a good run through at the start on the back of a gate speed horse in Its Back Page News. He comes into this race fourth up and should be nearing peak fitness after putting in a good run last start when not beaten far in third.
