RACE COMMENT
A full field assembles for the stand start over 2200 metres where the front row generally holds an advantage, though the runners off the 10 and 20 metre handicaps appear to bring stronger class. TULLAH GIRL (5) looks the best of the front markers and is normally a reliable beginner, which should see her settle handy and give herself every chance. It appears unlikely many others off the front line can win, with several class runners behind them including KOSTYUK LEIS (8) who was a solid second last start at Burnie, and GOODTIME OSCAR (7) who drops into an easier race than his past couple and can improve sharply. The 20 metre backmarkers COLBY SANDS (11), SAPPHIRE GAMBLE (12) and ROCKS ROY (13) are all capable beginners and will be hoping to settle at somewhat midfield to give themselves a genuine winning opportunity. ROLLWITHARTY (6) chases a hat-trick and although stepping up in class, his current form cannot be overlooked.Selections KOSTYUK LEIS (8), GOODTIME OSCAR (7), COLBY SANZ (11), TULLAH GIRL (5)
