RACE COMMENT

First up into the Peak of the Creek off the back of an impressive trial, STILLYOURSHOT (4) was unable to repel the early challenge from DAISY DIANA and from the trail in a 26.1 close out could not reel her in. Too far back as CHEERSTOLOU claimed the final, he would not have been out of place in bigger races in the past fortnight and a return to this grade will see him hard to stop. IM BOO (3) rolled forward over this trip last time out and was asked to sit parked. Putting the leader to bed at the 400, he was under siege but had the fight to fend them off and claim a gritty victory. Second line draws had stung at his previous four in succession and back off the front again here can issue the challenge. LENNY LINCOLN (2) sat in the pocket trail and had space to take his shot last time out but had to settle for the silver behind IM BOO. Limiting the early burn can see him feature. KASH TIN (5) found the 1x1 trail last start from gate 6 and when set free had the closing speed to descend on them and grab a narrow margin. A similar trip can see him chime in once again.Still chasing his first win here at HQ, BE GOOD MIKI (3) might just have found the right conditions to bring it up. With successive starts from inside the second line where he has been buried in the run on each occasion, he was making good metres last start when 5m astern of the winner. Runner-up behind CHEERSTOLOU four back, this is within reach. YANKEE C J (4) was sent around them from the second line here two starts back at the 2138 and rolling the sleeves was able to grind out the win, pulling clear late to post a 6m margin. Game in defeat last start from the chair, he can force the issue again here to throw down the challenge. DRAMAS (2) will have to give away plenty of experience to his rivals here as a one-win 2YO. Added to that he will be first up since June when breaking maiden ranks. With a tidy trial to prepare, the gate will help. MAYWYN TROUBADOR (9) should take some benefit from his last start where he was returning from a spell and loomed ominously when runner-up to ROCK HAMMER. The right trip can see him chime in second up. SELECTIONS: BE GOOD MIKI (3), YANKEE C J (4), DRAMAS (2), MAYWYN TROUBADOR (9) SUGGESTED BET: BE GOOD MIKI (3) to win
