RACE COMMENT

NONIS GOLD CLASS (6) was heavily backed on debut before having a few things go wrong. She then made a break at the start her second career start and was sent for a spell. Her recent trial was impressive behind Bangkok Deejay. She should be hard to beat in this race if able to bring her best manners.  SMOKEY BEAR (3) usually begins quickly from the stand start and has found himself up on speed a few times so far in his career when not beaten far without quite having been able to break through for a win. His latest effort came when running third in the Springboard Final behind Kicking Horse who has been the dominant 2YO trotter this year.  PRINCE KENNY (2) trialled up nicely recently at Menangle. He is having his first career start in this race which may be somewhat of a query coming from the bigger circuit at Menangle to race first time at Marburg. If he does everything right he appears to have the ability to run a good race.  SERENA LOVE (5) ran well on debut when finishing second to Hypnotize me despite doing things wrong in the early stages. She has since struggled to do things right having made a break in her following three starts. She appears to have ability but needs to bring improved manners if she is to figure in this race.
