RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CHEERS POVERTY (6) showed brilliant gate speed to lead and dominated his rivals to win in a slick mile rate of 1.56.8 last week. This is a field of similar standard and he should prove hard to beat again despite the wide draw. ROYAL SAXON (2) convincingly defeated CHEERS POVERTY (6) twice in succession prior to finishing third behind him last week after racing without cover throughout. He is a fast beginner and is perfectly drawn so he might be able to get back into winning form. HOOKLINEANDSINKER (5) began well and gained the perfect trail behind the leader but he was held up for a run at a vital stage before working home strongly for an unlucky third last week. He led when runner up in both of his performances prior and should give another forward showing. Both GOOD BOOTS BINDI (10) and CAULONIA TERROR (11) will appreciate a slight drop back in this class for this assignment and are not without a chance.
