RACE COMMENT
Theres no shortage of gate speed here, and we may see a very slick mile being run. CELEBRITY ROYAL (3) is first up off a 20 month break, and clearly looks the class horse from his past form winning the Tasmanian Derby and strong performances in quality Victorian races. However, his trial was good without being super, and I would think FUN TO LOVE (1) may try for an all the way win here. She was only beaten 1m when going 1.54 4 starts back when leading, and the mile distance really suits her. THEE OLD BOMB (7) has electric gate speed when asked, if they did, that could change the speed maps dramatically and possibly aid the (3). OZZIE CORKA (4) has been in super form since arriving in the state, but this is a hard race with an awkward draw. ANOTHER NIEN (6) loves the mile and has great gate speed, but also think he may be driven more quiet first up from a small break.Selections FUN TO LOVE (1), CELEBRITY ROYAL (3), OZZIE CORKA (4), ANOTHER NIEN (6)
