RACE COMMENT
DIDYALOUSAROOSTA (8) must overcome a slightly awkward draw today, but I think he is the horse to beat. Closed off well last start when 3rd to Mista Eagle. He was runner up to the promising Medina at his start prior, which looks a strong form line for today’s race. CEE TEE CHELSEA (7) has come back well this preparation after a long spell. She produced a good effort at Burnie on Monday night when coming from well back to finish 2nd. Should be fitter again here 3rd up and I think she looks a threat despite the outside draw. PREPARATION (3) was beautifully driven last start when winning at Hobart. Does rise in grade today but he is building a good record and looks progressive. POST LAZARUS (2) was five weeks between runs last start when making a long 3 wide run. He should be fitter today and with a kinder run in transit, he can be in the finish.Selections – DIDYALOUSAROOSTA (8), CEE TEE CHELSEA (7), PREPARATION (3), POST LAZARUS (2)
