RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Another wide-open event here where there’s a case to be made for most of the starters. And like the first, there appears plenty of speed off the front line. CELESTIAL ZODIAC (4) might be a good little each-way play based off the way he surged through the line last weekend in a race won by Vincenzo and much of his other recent form. HITTHEROADJACK (7) was solid in a better race than this won by Son Of Mac last weekend and is a tough customer who can run well despite the wide gate, HUGO ROCKS (11) was well backed and flashed home from last two runs ago and also wasn’t bad in that Son Of Mac clash, while KEAYANG WASABI (12) was caught parked and dropped out last time but the two runs prior to start the campaign were good. He can bounce back. Like race one, the hopes certainly don’t stop there…
