RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: You can make a case for every single one of the eight runners, but I’ll side with the in-form CLYMENUS (3). While he’s a bit of an opportunist and often needs things to go his way to win, he looks ready to score in this grade. Two starts ago he chased hard and ran a great second to Keayang Wasabi, and last week looked a huge chance from three back the fence but raced in restricted room and locked wheels when beaten 5m by Tooram Magic. The small field suits and I’d be surprised if he wasn’t in the finish. The grey FRUGAL FARE (2) looks likely to find the lead and would be a good chance if that was the case. He hit the front last start and was nailed in the shadows of the post by ZENARIO (6), who has been in great form all campaign and got a deserved victory. SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (1) is hardly banging the door down for a win, but does draw nicely and should be positioned to run well.
