RACE COMMENT
Sent out deep into the sauce here last week in his first standing start appearance, BIRKIRKARA (2) was unable to pay the punters when missing the money in finishing 6m astern of the winner SO SIRIUS. A big winner over the mile the start prior when second up from a spell, a return to mobile conditions can be the catalyst for redemption. CHECKNOUTTHETALENT (1) has been in super consistent form in recent months, landing on the podium in seven of his past eight. Rolling around from the second line to get parked last week, he was too strong in taking a 3m margin. With the options, he can throw it down. WE ALWAYS HAVE FAITH (8) will be tucked away on the poles from this gate which should suit. Strong to the line for the bronze last time out, he can be chiming in late off the soft trip. FREE THINKER (3) has only been behind the start car once in his past five starts, following the fence home for 3rd to LEAP TO FAME. Tackling the tapes in his other outings, this is more suitable.
