RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Extremely difficult 0-37 event here with very little form to get excited about, but ATOMIC GLORY (5) and TOPZAVSKI (3) look to be the two most likely to break through. ATOMIC GLORY (5) hasn’t been beaten far his last couple, including a close-up second to Kimchi at Ballarat on April 30 that reads well for this. He is marginally favoured over TOPZAVSKI (3), who ran well when second at Albury on May 1 and started a well-supported favourite when leading and finishing third at Kilmore in early April. VERY TEMPTING (1) has the good draw and should run well from there, while STELLAR QUEEN (4) might be next best.
