RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: AFFAMATO (8) won well first up last start. He made a long, wide run from near last to score at the post and will improve from that run. He will just need some luck from the barrier. SHIFFRIN (3) was brilliant winning her first start in the breeze in March. She has had two runs since where she has been a bit unlucky but still performed well. Her gate speed is a bit of an unknown, but she should race well here. JUST INCREDIBLE (6) is a smart horse who probably hasn’t found his best form yet this preparation. He does, however, have the best sectional times in this field. If he is at his best and finds a good position, he is a winning chance. SPORTSBOU (2) has been racing ok and has a good barrier here to capitalise on. BACK: AFFAMATO (8) – 2.5 units (win)
