RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: TENSION SEEKER (1) is a 13-yo mare who doesn’t win out of turn, but she gets the set-up for her favoured racing pattern here from the inside draw. The last time she was at this track in November she won from the same draw and has got up at decent odds when she has found the front over shorter trips which she gets here. She will give cheek at big odds. CHRISTMAS BABE (8) normally likes to lead, and she won’t get that opportunity here, however the soft peg line draw in this type of company is suitable. SONNYBOY (9) has found some form over the past month and should map ok to be strong late. CHAMPAGNES (7) will almost certainly find market support with Herbertson aboard, but she goes from barrier 1 to 7 which doesn’t help her chances. BACK: TENSION SEEKER (1) – 1 unit (win)
