Race comment
JOANS RISING STAR (1) was enormous from this barrier when chasing boom mare Captains Mistress for a Group 1 second in the Queen of the Pacific at Melton last start, beating some big names home. Had scored back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance prior. Can add another. DARIN (3) brings some good form from Brisbane having placed in his last two outings at Albion Park. Can measure up aided by the low draw. THE ANSWER (5) continued her good form from last campaign with a resuming second at this circuit and distance, coming from the widest barrier to go under by 1.5m. Draws closer to the pegs and is open to improvement. CLASSIC MISSION (8) hasn't raced since October but produced some good form last campaign and should be ready to go off three trials.

JOANS RISING STAR (1) was enormous from this barrier when chasing boom mare Captains Mistress for a Group 1 second in the Queen of the Pacific at Melton last start, beating some big names home. Had scored back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance prior. Can add another. DARIN (3) brings some good form from Brisbane having placed in his last two outings at Albion Park. Can measure up aided by the low draw. THE ANSWER (5) continued her good form from last campaign with a resuming second at this circuit and distance, coming from the widest barrier to go under by 1.5m. Draws closer to the pegs and is open to improvement. CLASSIC MISSION (8) hasn't raced since October but produced some good form last campaign and should be ready to go off three trials.
