RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: HELENSHOPE (2) should use this draw to advantage and look for the front with little pressure expected. She was very good first-up when narrowly beaten and has since contested stronger races than this. With the right tempo she can lead throughout. JUST LIKE NUGGET (4) finds a suitable race after tackling stronger opposition recently. He strung together some solid placings, and his last start is best forgiven after suffering a flat tyre. He should map well from the draw. IMAGUNNARESTNGO (1) maps to secure leader’s back and while her form needs improvement, that trip gives her claims. DIAMONDONTHEROCKS (7) led and had every chance in the same race as Helenshope last start, but this draw makes things tougher. BACK: HELENSHOPE (2) – 1 unit (win)
