RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: A race for the free-for-allers over the 1200m dash and all eyes are on who gets to the front first. GHOST OF TIME (5) looks the most likely to cross and for that reason I’ll jump into his corner. Two starts ago, he led, handed up and finished third in a close go behind Fighter Command and Bulletproof Boy. He was a brave second behind Meteor Moth last time when unable to find the pegs and he’s in great form. SURFINGMAKESCENTS (4) returns to the races for Kerryn Manning following a last-start win in the $50,000 Ladyship Cup back in October. She’s a fast beginner with good talent and looks right in this first-up from a break. WESTERN SONADOR (3) was left flat-footed when second to Dangerous at Bendigo on March 25, but rattled late in what was a good effort. He’s in this from the inside gate (if the emergencies don’t gain a start), while TRIPLE EIGHT (10) and OLIVER DAN (7) might be the best of the closers. Wide-open and intriguing race!
