RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Intriguing three-year-old maiden where you can make a good case for five or six of these, including SWAYWITHSIERRA (3) for trainer Shane Hoban. She showed speed and couldn’t cross first-up from a spell at Charlton, but did a good job to only be beaten 6.9m from the chair. She had form around some handy types in her two-year-old season, and from the front she’d be very hard to beat here. BIG CAT ORO (10) looks a nice type from the Courtney Slater yard and makes his debut on the back of a couple of solid trials at Geelong and Bacchus Marsh, JANSEN (8) is going well and just got past SWAYWITHSIERRA (3) late at Charlton, while ARZALI ROCKSTAR (1) has ability and draws to run a forward race.
