RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KEAYANG SANTIAGO (4) is progressing nicely through the grades and should settle in a prominent position and looks well placed over the sprint trip to fight out the finish. ALTA BAYAMO (6) is a speedy pacer that has good gate speed and can give a big sight throughout. Definite chance. NETRA (12) struck trouble last start and should be at peak fitness for this. Her first two runs back were very encouraging and despite the challenging draw is one of the main chances. FLYING SPARKS (5) good effort last start and is working up to a win. Can figure in the finish. METRO MEMORY (8) racing very well but faces an awkward draw and will need some luck over the short course. RANDOM MAHONEY (11) in good form but faces slightly stronger opposition and can make his presence felt again. Both SANDSTING (7) and BELLA LOUISE (9) are lightly raced and have ability and can’t be dismissed. EARLY SPEED: 4,5,6 RATINGS: 4/ 6/ 12/ 5/ 8/ 11/ 7/ 9
