RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CHAMPAGNES (3) is a smart mare when she trots throughout. She has put in some impressive performances over the past 10 months when she gets it all together. She has gate speed, but so do the two horses drawn inside her. ONAWINGANDAPRAYER (1) broke through for a first win since 2023 last start at this track, so comes in with confidence and the right barrier to utilise her gate speed. SNICKERS EXPRESS (10) can often gallop in his races, but when he gets it right, he is a talented trotter. He has the best sectional times in this event from the runs where he has brought the right manners. He needs to trot throughout. SABIHALIL (5) is racing ok, with good sectional times. Looks to be a first four chance here.
