RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: What a mouthwatering clash we have here between KEAYANG RENEGADE (9) and SOME AMERICAN (6). KEAYANG RENEGADE (9) looks a genuine star of the future and could barely have been more impressive in his six career starts to date where he has won by big margins in fast time. I’m certainly in his corner, but this looms as his biggest assignment against past Breeders Crown winner SOME AMERICAN (6). Emma Stewart’s charge has trialled the house down for his return, which included a 53.8 last half blow-out at Melton recently. He will probably spear forward and is likely to find the front. From there, he might be hard to catch. They appear the clear winning hopes, with the in-form LE BELLE BIJOUX (3) and KEAYANG WASABI (8) musts for the minor end of trifectas and First 4s.
