RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KOSIMO (10) and ZENARIO (9) are the two runners that appeal in the opening event at Melton on Friday night. The two clashed at the same track last week, with KOSIMO (10) held up briefly at the turn before sprouting wings late to finish third behind ZENARIO (9), who chased hard for second behind winner Talern Lofty. Both were great runs, but I’ll lean to KOSIMO (10) given he was able to beat ZENARIO (9) two starts prior and he looks to be back to somewhere near his best. This might be a chance for SERGEANT LOU (5) to work forward and try wrest the lead off fast beginner JUST AS WELL (1), and he could be a sharp improver at odds if he found the top. He’s working into form after four starts back from a spell. South Australian SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (7) has chased home the flying Dhaulagiri his last two and lands a poor gate, but has some class on his side with 27 career wins to his name. BACK: KOSIMO (10) – 1 unit (each-way)
