RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LE CARDINAL (1) shaped as a really promising horse for the Matthew Craven stable through his two-year-old season and he’s come back in sensational form with last-to-first victories in both runs at three. While they have been against much easier opposition than what he meets here, the turn of foot he’s shown is explosive and I fancy he’s destined for much better grade than this. Being crossed and buried away early is some concern, but if he can do enough to be leader or leader’s back then he can make it three wins to start the campaign. MEDINA (8) chased home free-for-aller Ultimate Vinnie for second last week at Bendigo and draws to trail the top pick, ALL BLAZING GUNS (10) backed up his $101 win on May 9 with a long-odds runner-up placing last weekend and is sure to start much shorter in the market this time around, while OZZIE CORKA (6) closed hard for fourth behind Gunforhire last weekend and ran another goo race at Melton a fortnight earlier. BACK: LE CARDINAL (1) – 2 units (win)
