RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Tricky little race here, but leaning towards the second-up IRON WOMEN (3) for Andy and Kate Gath. Her first run as a four-year-old in late March was a very good one after showing gate speed and sitting parked from barrier seven. She only got tired in the concluding stages and did a good job to only be beaten 8.5m by the very handy Bennie And The Jets. Tipping she might be able to find the top here and give a great sight over the 1720m. RAPID RETURN (5) hasn’t won since claiming the Group 1 Vicbred Super Series final as a four-year-old in September 2024, but is getting very close and produced a great run for second behind Mac Flick last weekend. She should go close. MITCHELL WRAP (9) was seventh in that same race and HEZA GUN (7) third after showing good speed to lead before handing up and sprinting again in the straight. Most could win without surprising, particularly the in-form KYVALLEY JETSTREAM (4). BACK: IRON WOMEN (3) – 1 unit (each-way)
