RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FIRE MARSHALL (5) is a very smart horse with a bright future. He is third up and nearing peak fitness. He sustained a long run and still hit the line well last start. ARCHIE MOTH (3) hasn’t had much luck recently but has been racing well and should be able to get forward from barrier three. WILD BULL (10) was a good winner last start at Stawell when leading. He is tough, but this maps differently from barrier ten and he will need to make his own luck. TARA VICTORY (4) has the second-best sectional times in the field and is a strong swooper when saved for one run. The barrier is tricky as she won’t be on the fence, but she is not out of this. BACK: FIRE MARSHALL (5) – 2 units (win)
