RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FREIGHT SHAKER (1) was able to find the lead when he scored at Melton three starts ago and will prove hard to beat if he can manage enough pace to kick through and hold the lead again. IM ABOVE THE LAW (3) is a chance of getting across to the markers however and will take catching if he does. He raced without cover when third at Maryborough two starts ago then was shuffled back on the markers after commencing from the inside of the second line at his latest fifth. HEZA GUN (8) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and follows out behind one of the leading chances in FREIGHT SHAKER (1) so he should go well. He was placed behind Ollivici four starts ago, competed in the Super Series at his next two attempts then was unplaced his latest appearance behind I’m Bobby in the open class standing start event on Saturday night. MYSTERY FRED (6) is a 3yo trotter taking on older horses but he finished fourth in the Breeders Crown last outing behind Mecarno so he is capable of being competitive. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 1/ 3,8/ 6/ 5,9,10
