RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: OUT TO STAY (5) will be another pacer that will be strongly fancied after competing in the aged classics with his latest performance being an eighth in the Caduceus Classic. He is a tough type and is likely to be competitive under these conditions. KEAYANG SIMBA (3) left a trailing position to move up without cover mid-race when a big winner on debut at Terang. He should have benefited from the experience and looms as one of the main chances again. HAPPENSTOBEABEACHBOY (7) won two races towards the end of last season and endured a tough run when a brave second in a mile rate of 1.56.8 at Terang. He is backing up quickly from his unplaced effort at Ballarat on Thursday but he must be respected. ANOTHER WOODS (9) is rising in class from his debut victory at Mount Gambier but he sustained a long run from well back so he cannot be underestimated. BACK: OUT TO STAY (5) – 3 units (win)
