RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LOUGLE (9) was a tough winner from the chair in his first run back in the care of Gerard Jamieson and then had no chance from the bad draw behind rising star Keayang Renegade last weekend. Despite this, he still hit the line nicely from back and wide in what was a sizzling dash home from the leader. Small field suits and he looks a horse with a decent ceiling. ISOLATION (2) was an impressive winner last week and looks a likely early leader here, LOU WILL (8) is doing enough to suggest victory isn’t far away and THE STEEL DRAGON (3) has been racing without much luck of late and wouldn’t surprise in an open race. BACK: LOUGLE (9) – 5 units (win)
