Race comment
OVERVIEW: Will this be a repeat of Saturday night for CARDIGAN DAN (2)? At the weekend, he drew gate two, strolled to the front and ripped home in sizzling last quarter of 26.6 to win by a big space. He was left alone in front there, and without any pressure here, it’s hard to see any of these stopping him making it back-to-back wins to start the campaign. FEARLESS WRITER (1) draws to get a good trip in behind the likely leader first-up from a spell and can run well from there, while IN AN IDEAL WORLD (8), who worked to find the front and boxed on well for third behind Komodo last time, might land three fence and that looks a good place to be if the expected map eventuates. PLATINUM JIVE (6) was a very easy winner from behind the leader at Cranbourne on Good Friday, SPOOK CROCKER (4) is flying for Steve Fennell and heads across the border following a Mount Gambier Cup victory, while there’s a big watch on DONMARO (9) after two Australian starts where he has dropped out badly despite being well in the market.

FEARLESS WRITER (1) draws to get a good trip in behind the likely leader first-up from a spell and can run well from there, while IN AN IDEAL WORLD (8), who worked to find the front and boxed on well for third behind Komodo last time, might land three fence and that looks a good place to be if the expected map eventuates. PLATINUM JIVE (6) was a very easy winner from behind the leader at Cranbourne on Good Friday, SPOOK CROCKER (4) is flying for Steve Fennell and heads across the border following a Mount Gambier Cup victory, while there’s a big watch on DONMARO (9) after two Australian starts where he has dropped out badly despite being well in the market.
