RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Very strong race for this grade! SOHO PLAYGIRL (2) can improve sharply back to this track and trip and has been racing against some smart types lately, hence the numerical form. She’s a different horse when she can find the top, which seems likely from this draw. MIKIS PLEASURE (3) is a very interesting runner here, being first up in 18 months, and the form prior to that break was quite good. She stepped out for a trial at Leeton and won by a space. Any betting moves need to be closely watched. CELESTIAL ZODIAC (8) has a tricky draw to overcome but has been racing very well in tougher company at Melton. If the breaks come, he will be in the finish. HITCH TO HIS STAR (11) has a horror draw to overcome over the short trip, but he’s shown class in his limited career. He’s a chance in a race that doesn’t end there.
