RACE COMMENT
The first heat round for the Jim McNeil Series which has been a target for MAJESTIC BREEZE (3) since arriving in Qld. A first up winner, she made an error second up that saw her banished to the trials. Earning the return and overcoming a 10m impost to score last start, she looks ideally placed from the front. WHIRLWIND WILBUR (6) got it all wrong and ended any chance here two starts back from the tapes which was an anomaly against his manners as he is normally a great beginner. Bouncing back with a victory from the mobile last time, he comes right into calculations here from 10m. SON OF A SUN (9) is another that looks well positioned for this series from 10m, having met stronger opposition in recent starts. A close 2nd from the mobile two back, he has claims here. CALL ME TROUBLE (10) can absolutely win this from 20m, however it comes with a forcible caveat. If he trots throughout and the right version turns up, however that is the unknown.
