RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ARTIGAS (6) is first-up since October last year where he stepped up in class in the Victoria Trotters Derby where he got it wrong. Last prep when he trotted safely, he was always a threat, winning well three back. He’s had a nice trial into this and hopefully has matured to put his best hoof forward. KAMARAN (9) has shown improved form this season, winning three from his past four runs, under both stand and mobile conditions. The draw is tricky here, but what he’s showing is positive. BAR TAB (12) was a good winner three back but has broken in running her past couple and has gone back to the trials. If she brings her manners, she’s a threat. BUSLIN BRODY (5) is a veteran who’s found some form, and despite this being slightly harder can afford to be positive and be in the mix again. BACK: ARTIGAS (6) – 2.5 units (win)
