RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FREIGHT SHAKER (8) has hit a purple patch of form, winning his most recent two starts. Last weekend, he was held up behind the galloping TICTOK (2) and got clear to easily run down NAKEDTRUTH (9), who got a break on him at the top of the straight. He’s the clear pick, but needs a good drive from Chris Svanosio from inside the back row. NAKEDTRUTH (9) was very good last weekend off the fence and can win, MAJESTIC TOOTH (1) is going well and draws for a nice trip, while TICTOK (2) would be right in this at her best, but manners are often a problem. MITCHELL WRAP (10) is next best. BACK: FREIGHT SHAKER (8) – 2 units (win)
