RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ALDEBARAN ABEL (6) is first up here and doesn’t have the best numerical form on paper. However, he has a lot of ability, having raced against the best horses in his age group in the country at Group 1 level last season. He has likely improved with age and may simply be too classy. PIESRIDINGSHOTGUN (1) may not be racing at his absolute best, but he loves being out in front and rolling along. He has the ace barrier and the gate speed to capitalise. OX KNOX (7) has been out of the winners’ circle since December last year, but he does have the best sectional times in this field. He will need luck from the barrier. TIPPLE TIME (9) has the ability, but currently lacks the manners. He will have the time and space to settle early from barrier nine, but will need to be on his best behaviour. BACK: ALDEBARAN ABEL (6) – 2 units (win)
