RACE COMMENT

EXCUSE TO COLLECT (2) joins the stable of Jack Butler having done its previous racing in NSW for a lesser known trainer. Appears to bring a similar profile to a number of former NSW horses which have joined the stable and won a few races quickly. LITTLEMICKEY (10) hit the line strongly three starts ago when running second when only getting into the clear very late at this track. He draws poorly inside this race outside the back row and will likely be relying on a genuine early tempo in this race to bring him into the contest. OCTOBER RACKETEER (6) draws poorly outside the front row after a good run last start behind Lulu Lucifer. This race looks a touch more difficult than his last start race where he may find himself a long way back and rely on other horses overdoing it at some stage. SHEROCKSMYWORLD (5) has been racing well and generally hits the line well late every run. She is likely to get a long way back from the wide draw and with the right run into the race again shouldn’t be far away.
