RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Great to see the return of last-start Breeders Crown champ KEAYANG KURKI (2) here, and she gets a great chance to make it a winning start to the campaign. She has good gate speed and might be able to lead and control this contest. She has trialled up okay for this without doing anything special and looks hard to beat. That said, this is a step-up into open-age grade and it won’t be easy. I’ll give QUIRKY CHARACTER (7) another chance given the small field and likely better trip than he’s received his past two. He’s been caught parked in slick races behind Pinnie and Lovemeto, but this shapes as more suitable. He’s a classy horse with a good finale and he could charge over the top late. BENNIE AND THE JETS (5) is flying and was a huge winner last time out, while OUR MARVELLA (3) hit the line hard for third at Maryborough latest and wouldn’t be a complete shock. BACK: QUIRKY CHARACTER (7) – 2 units (win)
