RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CLARENDEN EXPRESS (10) has recently joined the Adam Stephens stable, and it looks as though a win isn’t too far away. I liked the way he finished off behind Cee Cee Lou in a slick last half at Cranbourne on Saturday night to be beaten 2.2m and he should be running home hard late here. There’s plenty of other winning chances, with MONTANA PRIDE (2) in great form and shaping as a possible early leader, MY LITTLE BO (8) backing up from a win on New Year’s Eve in the Young Guns Series and DEUCE COUPE (5) performing well in some decent events. The chances don’t stop there, however.
