RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Awesome race to close the card where we see three top-end free-for-allers dominate the market. After their latest clash on March 21, I’m siding with FIGHTER COMMAND (5) narrowly over the people’s champ, BULLETPROOF BOY (3). The latter cruised to an easy lead there, but was swamped by FIGHTER COMMAND (5), who was huge first-up from a break. I think the step-up from 1720m to 2240m suits FIGHTER COMMAND (5) more and I’ll just lean his way. BULLETPROOF BOY (3) should find the top again and is clearly a huge chance, while it’s great to see BAY OF BISCAY (6) back at the races. The reigning Eureka champion has had a couple of trials ahead of this assignment and comes here on the back of a fifth placing in the Group 1 Victoria Cup back in October. He’s class, but it won’t be easy from the draw against two star rivals.
