RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: There’s good wraps on QUATRO MOTH (7) and he is well fancied to continue an unbeaten start to his career. He won both starts as a two-year-old at Melton and Menangle, and is fancied to take this first-up assignment despite no public trial to work off. ATUA MAGIC (3) looks a serious danger, however, and warmed up for this with a first-up third in the listed Breeders Plate at Leeton on Boxing Day when he was forced to come wide on the small track for the last lap. He was a top two-year-old and ran third in the Group 1 Protostar in Queensland during July. A winner outside those would surprise, but ROCKY ROCKS (1) and SPRINGFIELD RIVER (2) look the prominent players for third.
