RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Great little race where there looks to be a bit of speed off the front line, headlined by IM WESLEY (5). He led, handed up and chased home Most Exciting at Cranbourne latest and before that was a brave fifth in a hot race behind the very talented Keayang Renegade. If he finds the front, he will be hard to beat based on recent form. DELIGHTFUL CHARM (3) is another that will likely be punching forward at the start and has run a couple of very good runner-up placings in better grade since joining the Basil Dooley stable. HIGHLANDHARTBREAKA (6) hasn’t been far away behind some handy rivals of late, while ADMIRALOFTHEFLEET (4) has run well at the Bacchus Marsh trials following his latest victory at Terang when he came from well back to score against easier company. BACK: IM WESLEY (5) – 1 unit (each-way)
