RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: WOODLEA DIEGO (6) scored here three starts ago when driven patiently before producing a sharp finishing burst. The rise in distance looks ideal, especially against several rivals who are better suited over shorter trips. With the state’s leading driver aboard and the right race shape, he’s hard to beat. OUR TRUE COLOURS (4) beat him home last start when second after leading. There’s speed around her again, but with the right trail she’ll be competitive. CALEDONIAN TERRA (2) can use his speed to hold a peg-line position and conserve energy for late. MISTER FONZI (8) finds a much more suitable race than recent assignments and if he can reproduce his January winning form, he’s right in the finish.
