OVERVIEW: FLYING SPARKS (4) has been racing consistently well recently. He did it tough last start at Bendigo and battled on well for third. He can make his own luck. OPTIMAL (8) will need some luck to get off the fence, but he has a good sprint if he gets the right run. SUPER CODE (2) has been good at his last two starts. He won well at massive odds last start and is well placed here from the barrier. JUST PEDRO (3) was good last start at Shepparton when second after making a late run. He looks close to returning to the winners’ circle. BACK: FLYING SPARKS (4) – 2.5 units (win)

OVERVIEW: FLYING SPARKS (4) has been racing consistently well recently. He did it tough last start at Bendigo and battled on well for third. He can make his own luck. OPTIMAL (8) will need some luck to get off the fence, but he has a good sprint if he gets the right run. SUPER CODE (2) has been good at his last two starts. He won well at massive odds last start and is well placed here from the barrier. JUST PEDRO (3) was good last start at Shepparton when second after making a late run. He looks close to returning to the winners’ circle. BACK: FLYING SPARKS (4) – 2.5 units (win)

Race comment
OVERVIEW: FLYING SPARKS (4) has been racing consistently well recently. He did it tough last start at Bendigo and battled on well for third. He can make his own luck. OPTIMAL (8) will need some luck to get off the fence, but he has a good sprint if he gets the right run. SUPER CODE (2) has been good at his last two starts. He won well at massive odds last start and is well placed here from the barrier. JUST PEDRO (3) was good last start at Shepparton when second after making a late run. He looks close to returning to the winners’ circle. BACK: FLYING SPARKS (4) – 2.5 units (win)
