RACE COMMENT

TOMMY BLIGH (6) brings some of the best form into the race but does draw poorly outside the front row. He started outside the front row at Albion Park over the 2138 and was well beaten by Gracenava after burning over to lead and over racing. He may be driven more conservatively in this race and could bounce back. PLAYFUL MISS (2) led two starts ago seemingly over racing and being well beaten there. She was much better last start when sat up for one run finishing off powerfully late into third. She may be driven in a similar manner that saw her run well last start and should be running on again late.  ERASMUS (4) has very good gate speed and finds a race where he may be able to find a forward position. He led recently at Albion Park in a much stronger race and was only beaten 4.9 metres. A similar effort would likely see him hard to beat. TAKE COURAGE (8) has been in near career best form in recent starts. She was able to secure a good run off the speed last start and was taking plenty of ground off Wandary Delight late who had given her the cart up into the race. If the race is run to suit she should be thereabouts again.
