RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: All eyes on the unbeaten KEAYANG RENEGADE (8) here as he looks to stretch his record to six starts for six wins. While he has an awkward draw, he looks a star on the rise and should be able to complete the perfect half-dozen. Last time out, he found the front and crushed a good field of rivals in slick time under minimal driving. He’s a gun and will progress to bigger and better things. Plenty of cases to be made for those to fill the minors, with FOLLOWTHEACE (9) nicely poised from a good back row draw and after a sound last-start effort when fourth to New Shuffle at Bendigo. THESTATESMAN (6) bounced back from a poor display with a good closing effort at Melton last time when he had the race-fastest last half despite covering plenty of extra ground behind Brooklyn Dan, while REPELLING (7) might carve across to find the lead and can run well if he’s successful in that early venture. BACK: KEAYANG RENEGADE (8) – 4 units (win)
