RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MUSELET (3) getting fitter with each run this campaign and didn’t have the best of luck last start. Gets a more favourable draw here and is worthy of an each way chance. BLUE MIKI (10) will find this much easier than recent racing and suited here despite the second-row draw. Definite chance. MAXY BOMBER (9) found trouble last start when breaking but his prior form was very consistent with a string of placings. Chance again. WEREGOINGTOGETCHA (11) arrives from Queensland and was a last start and recent winner. Joins the astute Brosnan stable and expect a forward showing.  NOTHING SWEETER (12) continues to race well and is sure to be storming home late. Not out of it despite the challenging draw. IM THE WILD ONE (13) in great form but faces a horror draw. POLLY PEACHUM (4) speedy and suited by the sprint trip and make give a big sight. EARLY SPEED: 3,4,5 RATINGS: 3/ 10/ 9/ 11/ 12/ 13/ 4
