RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Good gate, uncontested lead, slick last half and big win. That has been the story for CARDIGAN DAN (1) in his two starts back from a spell and it looks like something similar might eventuate on Saturday night. He’s got the pole draw, looks like controlling the race and we can expect another victory here. The other class runners and key dangers appear on the back row, with SOAP AND BUBBLES (9) closing off really well for second behind Repelling a fortnight ago and having the point-to-point speed to charge into second. The beautiful grey FRUGAL FARE (10) was very brave when third in a frantic race last Friday and BIZZNESS CLASS (11) awfully unlucky after an early mistake at Mildura. The pegs, as it has been in CARDIGAN DAN’s (1) last two wins, might be the place to be, however, so MAXNJAX (8) is a must for trifectas and First 4s.
