RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SANCHEZ (4) was brilliant last start, flashing home to finish second in the Group 3 4YO Bonanza on Hunter Cup night. He has competed against the best of his age group throughout his career. Third up now, he should be nearing peak fitness and looks the one to beat. ATA RANGI (6) raced competitively through the Summer of Glory support cards. He is versatile and, despite the awkward barrier, can make his own luck. GOLDEN TRIBE (11) was a talented juvenile who raced at the top level through his two- and three-year-old seasons. Now a four-year-old, he has always shown the promise to reach the top. The barrier is awkward but he is talented. MAXY WANTS TO PLAY (8) comes from the Aaron Dunn stable, which performs strongly on the country circuit. He is a powerful swooper and will be charging late with luck. BACK: SANCHEZ (4) – 3 units (win)
