RACE COMMENT
A wide draw creates a challenge for ISLA ROCHELLE (9) tonight but she is hard to knock having won four of five starts since joining Brad Hewitt, the last two at this circuit and distance. Has the speed to go forward so could get the job done again. MESSERATI (1) found winning form two back at Wagga and was good from a few spots wider here last time when beaten less than 2m into third. Has a handy record at the mile and gets his chance from the inside draw. ROMANEE (3) will be fitter for last week's resuming fourth in a higher-graded race and draws well so can progress. MICHAYWEY (8) draws wider than when placed last week but came from this barrier when winning at this circuit and distance prior.
