RACE COMMENT
WILLROBY (4) got a long way back from a wide draw last start and was running on nicely into third late behind Get Me Outta Here. The runner up in that race Captain Oh Captain has since come out and won appearing to strengthen those form lines. He looks well graded and can figure with the right run. GHOST TRAIN (6) has been hitting the line well recently. He ran a good third three starts ago at Redcliffe behind Shadys Delight. He looks likely to be behind the leader in this race and if the runs come at the right time he should be right in the finish. WESTERN ACTION (8) wasn’t beaten far in a fast mile two starts ago behind Favreau. He then backed that up with an unlucky ninth shuffled right back early before hitting the line reasonably. The big query for him in this race is needing to handle the tight circuit which he hasn’t in the past.  MY ULTIMATE LOUIE (1) should have the speed to lead in the early stages of the race. He led last start and was able to finish fourth behind Lulu Lucifer. This race looks significantly easier and he should be hard to catch leading.
