RACE COMMENT
A stand start over 2579 metres where tactics and safe beginnings will be crucial. IMPERIAL LAZ (8) has been super consistent of late and with a clean getaway will no doubt look the winner at some stage. MIGHTY JOLT (7) is a well-performed newcomer to the state, having competed against strong opposition in Queensland. He trialled nicely during the week after racing only seven days earlier, and provided he has handled the trip south, his class could prove decisive. ROCKS ROY (4) was again running on strongly into a placing last start, as is his pattern, and from the front line here should be right in the finish. IAMAHUNTER (2) rises in grade but with a soft run on speed could represent value. GOODTIME OSCAR (5) and SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (6) both boast excellent stand-start records and will be looking to begin cleanly and press forward despite their wider positions.Selections IMPERIAL LAZ (8), MIGHTY JOLT (7), ROCKS ROY (4), IAMAHUNTER (2)
