RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ROYAL SAXON (3) has been impressive at his past two victories and is a strong chance of completing a hat trick. He recorded a slick mile rate of 1.56.7 when he led throughout at Gawler two starts ago. ZAPPA (8) led out then took cover when third behind Torque Power in a strong race at Terang last outing. He appears to be well placed against this line up and was a winner in fast time at Bendigo on December 17 so he must be respected. WATCHTHECLOCK (1) is likely to end up trailing the leader from the pole position and was placed from the same spot two starts ago. OUR MASTER PLAY (6) is racing consistently against similar opposition and is worth a ticket each way. BACK: ROYAL SAXON (3) – 2 units (win)
