RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Puzzling map for this year’s edition of The Stampede, with a number of potential early leaders over the flying 1200m trip. SOHO DARKNSTORMY (1) and TEN DA TOUCH (4) look likely to press forward, as does METEOR MOTH (6) from a little wider on the arm. Last time he drew the front, he was able to lead and win a good race at Melton and would be awfully hard to chase down if he worked to the top here. Last weekend, he peeled out from the 1x2 position and was narrowly beaten by a horse in form up the sprint lane. While MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (9) almost certainly won’t be finding the early lead, he is racing so well that he must be regarded as a winning chance. He worked forward and held off Fighter Command and Justalittlesip to win the Geelong Rocket last time out and looks a progressive horse for trainer Andy Gath. Stablemate SOHO DARKNSTORMY (1) chased home TEN DA TOUCH (4) last weekend, but can reverse that result given the draw, while SON OF MAC (3), last start 1200m winner OPERATIVE LINE (7) and TRIPLE EIGHT (10) are others with genuine claims.
