RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: SAMMY HALLER (9) strikes a winnable race here despite the back-row draw, having covered many of these rivals in recent efforts. The small field and trailing draw mean he should map reasonably well and work into the race at the right time. ALDEBARANHARLEQUIN (3) is a fast beginner and should benefit from her first-up outing in a race that had more depth than this. She showed decent ability last campaign. VOLDAGHA (3) was slightly disappointing first-up when able to lead before dropping out. There does appear to be ability there, so he’s worth another chance from the draw. TAKEN BY WINE (6) broke through for her maiden win at her 70th start last time out, winning quite easily, albeit against weaker opposition.
