RACE COMMENT
Not comfortable at all last week when finishing at the rear of the field, SHEZA CHANCE (7) reuniting with regular pilot Angus Garrard is a big plus. A winner at four in succession prior to the round 1 issues, the middle trip and a smart beginning can see her capitalise. GOLDEN SUNSET (11) was a winner of her heat last week, starting well from the 20m impost and finding running line cover. Closing out strongly to take a 4m margin on the line, she should strip fitter for the run which was her third this campaign. Negotiating traffic, she can challenge. HAMMER SON (5) not ideally suited at the 13 furlongs of the first round, the 2138 on offer here off a front tape looks more suitable. A winner under mobile conditions two back, has claims. ZEALOUS SPUR (10) put the head out at the right time in the stretch last week, moving up strongly to claim the heat victory. With the right cart into the contest, he will be right there.
