RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: KAMARAN (6) has been in fantastic form since joining the Peter Manning stable. He has won four of his last six starts, placing in the other two. He’s a talented type and looks a great chance here. Beyond KAMARAN (6), the rest of the field looks quite even. BOUTIKA (5) won impressively at Ararat two starts ago, then followed that with a fourth at Melton last start. If she gets into a good position, she can flash home. APRIL SUN (3) had a tough run last start, covering an extra 35 metres racing wide and being forced to do it tough. He got tired late, but does have a good turn of foot if he gets luck in running. COLTRANE (11) has shown glimpses of great ability, but is not yet the complete package and can get his manners wrong. Last start he looked like looming to win before another runner locked wheels with him. If he trots throughout, he is a winning chance. CALABASAS (10) and FREMARKS PEGGY (7) are also racing well heading into this event. BACK: KAMARAN (6) – 2.5 units (win)
