RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Looks to be speed aplenty here in the opening event with REPELLING (4) and SOHO DARKNSTORMY (7) the two most likely to power for the front. For that reason and given the likely solid tempo, I’m happy to focus on a back row runner in SON OF MAC (11). He was able to storm home over SOHO DARKNSTORMY (7) to win a race three starts ago at Melton and his subsequent two have had excuses given position in running. He is arguably the class runner of the field here, and while the draw is tough, he looks a good chance. KOMODO (3) is flying at the moment and just needs to find a good spot in the running line to be right in this, SOHO DARKNSTORMY (7) is back from a brief NSW campaign and is a huge chance if he strolls to the top, while ALWAYSBEALADY (9) has charged home her past two and will be one of the runners rattling late with the likes of SON OF MAC (11) and SOAP AND BUBBLES (6).
