RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ALOT LIKE LOUIE (9) has had no luck whatsoever since his strong and deserved win at Melton four runs ago. He’s been plagued by bad draws and was even forced to withdraw due to a flat tyre last time. Hopefully his run of misfortune has ended and his luck turns. PESCI (8) has won three of his past five and was a strong winner last time at Melton when coming from well off the speed. DHAULAGIRI (5) is a country cups stalwart who always commands respect and is well suited from the front row. CURYO GENTLEMAN (4) is a quick beginner in solid form who may just need the right tempo to see out the trip. BACK: ALOT LIKE LOUIE (9) – 2 units (win)
