RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Great race to start the night where there’s a host of winning chances and it’s great to see the return of exciting mare SWEET IDEAL (12). She closed last campaign with a down-the-track finish in the Make Mine Cullen at Ballarat in January, but oozes top-end speed and showed her class with a sizzling Melton trial in late April to ready for her return. It’s never easy from outside the back row, but if the tempo is on, she will take no end of holding out late. KOSIMO (9) was kind to followers when he saluted at nice odds last Friday night and he’s got another good chance here. He’s really in a rich vein of form at the moment, and like SWEET IDEAL (12), you can expect him to be charging late. ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (11) was a stunning winner when beating KOSIMO (9) and four others that reoppose from last at Melton on April 4, while REPELLING (3) looks the likely early leader and did win from the front back here on the same night as ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (11). The chances don’t end there, so don’t be afraid to go wide in the Early Quaddie!
