RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: IM BOBBY (2) can lay claim to being one of the state’s most improved horses through 2025, with a stunning rise through the ranks at the age of six. He had ARCEE PHOENIX’s (4) back in last weekend’s Maori Mile, but couldn’t get past him in the straight as they ran second and third behind the megastar Keayang Zahara. Don’t think there’s a heap between the two and the inside draw advantage gives James Herbertson the chance to go all the way from the front. ARCEE PHOENIX (4) is a multiple Group 1 winner and can definitely overcome the map, so expecting they’ll run the quinella in some order. GOTFEELINGSYOUKNOW (6) is clear third pick ahead of TWEEDLEDEE (1), who is showing some signs for new trainer Steve Alexandrou. BACK: IM BOBBY (2) – 2 units (win)
