RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Open event here to close the meeting and the Quaddie, where it might pay to go wide in the final leg. But we’ve got to settle with one on top and that horse is MORRIS BROWN (9), who is set to have his first start for new connections on Saturday night. He sat in the 1x1 last weekend at Bendigo and did a pretty good job to only be beaten 17.6m by a star on the rise in Keayang Renegade, who dashed home a super slick last half to give none of his rivals a chance. His form prior is really strong against handy opposition and James Herbertson takes charge for this assignment. IM DOWNBYTHEBEACH (1) has made an impression in his two Australian starts (a win and a narrow runner-up placing) and draws to be right in this, HEATSEEKER (8) might settle leader’s back and is going well, while INTRUSION (7) has enjoyed a great campaign and might have gone on top from a better draw. Really, most of the nine have claims – it’s that sort of race!
