RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: NINEDOLLA TOASTIE (1) looks well placed to return to the winning list here, having raced in much better company than he faces here, with the speed to lead and added fitness on his side third up. He was really brave last time when forced to burn off a fast front row; if he gets a better run in transit he will be hard to beat. SUMTHIN ELSE (2) will be trying to grab his back with his unruly stablemate likely to create that room and looks a good exotic play, fitter second up. KRAKEY (5) has good speed also and will use that and map up handy. OLLIES MEDAL (8) has raw ability but can be a handful; if he brings his best he has claims. BACK: NINEDOLLA TOASTIE (1) – 3 units (win)
