RACE COMMENT

Just the small field of five to do battle in this FFA contest where THE JANITOR (5) will step out fresh following his last appearance at Menangle in the Len Smith Mile. His unplaced performance was enormous on a night where nothing went right. He can bounce back in style on his home deck where he was an effortless 1.51.2 winner two runs back. TURN IT UP (1) has placed at his past two starts, including just a head margin from the winner WISPER A SECRET when pouncing on the lead from gate six last time. Strong to the line after retreating two starts back, he can dictate which runner he lets go here and will be challenging. TIMS A TROOPER (3) was in for the fight here last week after doing it the tough way in the small field when under 2m from WIPSER A SECRET. The field could be in single file here and he will be chasing.Making her first appearance for the new stable, COASTAL BABE (3) has been to the trials twice in readiness for the return. Beaten into 3rd last start when sent out as a $1.10 shot, at her best she should be taking care of this field and has the gate to get handy and capitalise first up. JENSVILLE (1) has been a model of consistency throughout her career, missing a top three just five times in 28 appearances, and just once in eight on this deck. Strong to the line for 3rd last start when 2m from SKY FAWKES, she has all the options to throw down the challenge. WORKS FOR ME (8) will appreciate the economical trip here, tucked away on the poles and awaiting some space. Placed in four successive runs before a last start 5th, she will be probing. KYLOAN QUEEN (2) burrowed through to hold them wide last start and from the front was able to grip on for the silver when under 2m from the winner. She can be thereabouts again here.
