RACE COMMENT
WHIRLWIND WILBUR (5) is a horse that has always shown good ability and really seems to be putting it all together in his recent starts. He was able to work to the lead last start at Albion Park and proved too good there leading all the way to beat Voltain. He appears well handicapped in this race coming off just 10 metres. EN MASSE (1) stepped to the lead two starts ago before handing over to Daimyo and running a solid second. She was then close to 2 months between runs when starting last start and is likely to have derived plenty of benefit from that outing. If she can step to the lead she will have options.  CROOKWELL EYES (3) ran a good second last start after starting from a 20 metre handicap at Albion Park behind Ahundredplus. He has been racing well this campaign having scored two wins in the month of August both from the stand start. He should step away well and can figure with the right run. NATTY PAGGER (6) is rarely far away in his races and looks quite well placed in this race coming off just 10 metres in this race against rivals he has previously given bigger starts to. He started off a 20 metre handicap last start and was running into it late to finish fifth at Albion Park.
