RACE COMMENT
Sent out as the fav in the Final of the DJA after impressive wins in both heat rounds, GOLDEN SUNSET (4) was unable to sweep the series. Scratchy off the mark to settle at the rear, she was unable to get into the contest. With the benefit of the small field, she will be closer to the action and with her closing speed can look to descend on them in the stretch. TAYLAD TO USE (1) was first up from a spell into the DJA and after never finding space in the first round, was narrowly beaten in round 2. Stepping cleanly and setting the tempo, he was able to dictate from the front end to claim the final. Not suited from the mobile last week, back to the tapes and importantly off the front, can see him throw down the challenge. BERRIESANDCHERRIES (2) attacked the line in nice fashion in the DJA Final to grab the bronze behind TAYLAD TO USE. Not suited last week when the power was on late with GET USED TO IT dictating from the front, she can pop straight in behind the speed to offer some closing power. SELECTIONS: GOLDEN SUNSET (4), TAYLAD TO USE (1), BERRIESANDCHERRIES (2) SUGGESTED BET: GOLDEN SUNSET (4) to win
