RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: GYM QUEEN (5) is progressing nicely this preparation, learning with each run and edging closer to her maiden victory. While she begins outside the draw, that appears by stable design, and she has handled wider positions on the mobile arm well enough. The way she chased to the line last start is good enough to win a race like this. TAURAS (7) won a trial impressively before resuming as an odds-on favourite but broke at the start and lost all chance. He raced in strong company as a two-year-old and the stable deserves respect to have him bounce back. DESERT ROYALE (4) looks the clear leader and over the short trip should give a strong sight. He was safely held by Gym Queen last start, however. MISS KOMMUNICATION (3) broke in running last time, which was out of character, but what she showed prior keeps her firmly in calculations. BACK: GYM QUEEN (5) – 2 units (win)
