RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: JANSEN (1) has good gate speed and the ace barrier to give his driver Sean O’Sullivan the option to hold the lead or hand up for a good trip. He looks ready to break through for his maiden victory with this ideal draw. BIG BIK (10) has the best sectional times in this field from last preparation. He is first up for Shane Sanderson and has quite a few gear changes. HILTONS SPIRIT (4) has had the one career start, where he was stuck on the fence but hit the line well. He recently trialled well at Melton. HEAVENLY FLYER (9) has a good barrier to follow through early. Also noting respect for ROM BARO (5) and TAKAO (11), who are both well-bred first starters, along with BETTOR PUNTER (6), who ran a fast last quarter in a slowly run Melton trial recently. BACK: JANSEN (1) – 2 units (win)
