RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: ALS CHOICE (3) is a 2yo having his first start, giving away race experience, but what he’s shown at the trials may be good enough for a debut win. In his three trials he’s taken on older horses and won impressively, most recently showing good manners again while running decent time. Those efforts appear stronger than what the opposition has produced under race conditions. MAXI ANGEL (2) changed stables ahead of her debut at Mildura and ran well. She showed no gate speed and made decent ground from last, so with natural improvement can go closer. MELS NIGHT OUT (4) has been okay placing at Mildura recently from awkward draws and if she maps well will be in the mix again. SHEZA MAJOR CRUNCH (1) has only had the one inconclusive trial, but the stable does well with its young horses and she has an economical draw. BACK: ALS CHOICE (3) – 2 units (win)
