RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Hard to go past smart Emma Stewart three-year-old BROOKLYN DAN (6), who heads here on the back of a Group 2 victory in the Bathurst Gold Chalice. He kick-started the campaign with a win in the VHRC Caduceus Classic on Hunter Cup night and looks destined to reach a much higher grade than this. He does have an awkward draw to contend with, but should prove too classy. FIRE MARSHALL (5) failed last time out when driven cold at the back of the field, but his prior wins from the front were super slick and he might be difficult to run down if he can get the top. Other chances - perhaps more on a place basis – are headed by last-start winner ZANDA MAN (3) and THESTATESMAN (11), who failed last time but was good first-up from a break and has nice ability.
