RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ROYAL SAXON (4) continues to race in great form having been placed at his past six starts (3 wins) and should give another forward showing. He is a fast beginner and led throughout for a comfortable victory last week against slightly easier opposition. KING SAINT (10) is the class runner of the field but he is first up from a break without going to the trials. He has had two starts at Mildura for a win and a third and his latest race track appearance was a third placed effort back in September. ALWAYS ON SAFARI (7) is a versatile pacer, which was wide early, gained a one out and one back trail mid-race then made a long run out three horses wide from the 700m at his latest creditable third. He was a strong winner at Gawler three starts ago and should be competitive again. THE DEVIL ROLLS ON (2) finished off fast for an eye-catching third last week and has claims along with WATCHTHECLOCK (3) and CHEERS POVERTY (5).
