RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CAPTAINS RUSH (3) is resuming since a ninth in the Nutrien Classic in April 2025 but he appeared to be very sharp at his latest Bendigo trial victory and he strikes a suitable assignment first up. ILLAWONG PHOENIX (2) is a consistent mare, which is drawn to be prominent throughout. She trailed the leader throughout and finished second behind Ima Charma at Terang last outing. UNCLE TREV (6) is resuming since being runner up three times in succession back in October and November. He is a fast beginner and should be competitive again if he is somewhere near his peak. RETURN SERVE (7) continues to race well in New South Wales and is worth thought along with RANDOM MAHONEY (8).
