RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MIDNITE DESIRE (3) is yet to win in nine attempts this season, but his recent performances suggest he’s trending towards the winner’s stall. He was forced to work hard out of the gate and crossed last time, and if he got the desired spot would have won. This map may work out better for him and if he gets control is the one to beat. BLISSFULL LILLY (4) maps to get decent cover and found the line ok when clear last time. REASON TO LAUGH (7) came through the same race when 3rd and did it tough again at Shepparton for the podium but has a tricky draw. RIVER PATROL (2) the 15-yo is a fast beginner, likes the track and may get a soft run to improve on recent form. BACK: MIDNITE DESIRE (3) – 3 units (win)
