RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Heat two of the Pleasant Creek Plate here and it looks an intriguing battle with stacks of speed off the front line and plenty of winning hopes. Leaning to OPTIMAL (10), who was unlucky when held up at Ararat last time and ran a nice second to the handy Shaq before that at Maryborough. With the speed on, he should be charging late. Would have VILLAGE VOICE (8) on top from probably any other draw, but just worried where she ends up from inside the back row. She’s flying and is very ready to win after a string of placings, including a runner-up effort when just missing in a photo to Wazowski last time. ITTAKESLUV (2), who was good closing hard for second despite a wide last lap latest, and the first-up HUNGRY HOGARTH (11) head a host of other winning chances.
