RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SENNA STORM (6) drops back to a suitable grade here after some solid performances, albeit from better draws to race handy. He has very good gate speed to look for the top, and if he finds that desired position will take catching. JANIEBQUICK (9) is an honest mare who has been racing well from more favourable draws but can still map ok despite the backrow. If she gets the right trail can be strong late. BREATHE EASY (10) is always thereabouts in these types of races, it often comes down to the right tempo for him to sweep into it. He’s a veteran who always tries. OUR TRUE COLOURS (1) doesn’t have brilliant gate speed but can be afforded a soft enough run to be strong late if the breaks come. BACK: SENNA STORM (6) – 1 unit (win)
