RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: QUEEN KIZEN (4) should be reaching her peak form after having three starts back from a break and looms as one of the leading chances. She has had a win and a second from two attempts from the standing start, which is a good lead to her chances. ANTONOV (5) is a versatile trotter, which finished fifth at his first effort since February. He should strip fitter from that outing and his overall form is good enough to be competitive against this line up. A TRUE STORY (7) was competing against much tougher opposition when he was last in work and will go well if he is somewhere near his peak form. He hasn’t started since a tenth in the South Australian Cup back in October. WATCH AND ACT (1) is a swift beginner and is capable of filling a place from the pole position. MAESTRO (8) and JOHNS BOY (9) are both standing start specialists and are worth thought despite their tough handicap. BACK: QUEEN KIZEN (4) – 1 unit (each way)
