RACE COMMENT
ONE BIG SHEW (4) drops back in grade today after contesting predominantly Free-For- All races in recent months. He closed off well at Launceston last start behind Vanquish Stride and Star Major, and I think today looks a suitable race for him. BETTABLACK TIGER (2) hasn’t been seen since 31st August but should be right in the mix here. A runner-up in the Beautide at Hobart three starts ago looks a very strong form line for today’s race. WE SALUTE YOU (7) closed off strongly at Hobart on Sunday night and ran the 2nd fastest last quarter of the race. Likely to be driven for one run here, the smallish field looks to suit. CAPTAIN PINS (3) might be put on the speed early today and have options thereafter. He was an improved effort last start when finishing 3rd to Iron Clad.Selections – ONE BIG SHEW (4), BETTABLACK TIGER (2), WE SALUTE YOU (7), CAPTAIN PINS (3)
