RACE COMMENT
OVERIVEW: MIGHTY JOLT (6) showed blistering early speed and ran a cracker for second first-up in the care of Dean Braun last weekend. He led, gave a kick and was only grabbed in the shadows by Tara Victory, who is in great form. It was a top run in slick time, and despite the step-up from 1720m to 2240m, he’s fancied to go one better here. ZANDA MAN (4) ran a massive race for second from the chair in good time at Mt Gambier latest and he’s a nice horse with plenty of ability, the handy INTRUSION (8) was a brave fourth when parked for the last lap at Melton on March 14 and can sprint hard from the fence draw, while MISTER AMERICANO (1) is back from a Gold Chalice campaign in NSW and draws for a good trip. BACK: MIGHTY JOLT (6) – 2 units (win)
