RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SMOKEN ACE (5) crossed CALEXICO (3) and LOUIE LOU I (4) two starts back at Melton and I fancy he can get the top here again. He charged late but missed CALEXICO (3) in that race on December 20 and was then narrowly run down by LOUIE LOU I (4) last time out at Cranbourne. The master James Herbertson gets back in the bike for this rematch and I’ll lean his way in what is a cracking contest. Tactics will be interesting, and CALEXICO (3) and LOUIE LOU I (4) can certainly win, while TANGO TARA (7) returns from a long injury lay-off with a couple of nice trials under his belt. He is definitely a winning factor.
