RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Intriguing clash with plenty of in-form horses and a tricky speed map to predict. HES NO ROMEO (2) looks like getting to the fence, but tends to take cover in his races and that might allow SURFINGMAKESCENTS (6) to cross and lead as she did first-up when narrowly beaten over 1200m. Both horses are going well and loom as serious chances, but I’ll side with JUSTALITTLESIP (7). Joe Pace’s charge has been working up to a win this campaign and was only beaten 1.2m into third in last Friday’s Geelong Rocket behind My Ultimate Barney and Fighter Command. He’s good enough to round them up if the tempo is on, as is OUR LUCIANO (9) and METEOR MOTH (8), who gets away from the smaller tracks where he has struggled this time in. Great race where all five can win! BACK: JUSTALITTLESIP (7) – 1 unit (each-way)
