RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ARTIGAS (10) is an untrustworthy trotter at this stage of his career, but his best appears pretty good. He was an eye-catching second to Paris Jamilla at Bendigo recently when he came from well back in the field with a slick last half to be beaten 2.2m. With only 10 starts to his name, he still looks progressive and might have a little class edge here if he can trot the whole way. POPPY POPSTAR (2) is clearly one of the horses to beat. She is currently in the midst of a great run of form and looks a good chance of finding the front in her bid to make it three victories in succession. This is a slight step-up in grade from her past two, but she’s flying. MOREEP (1) hit the line well for third behind a couple of handy rivals at Cranbourne last weekend and gets the number one alley, DEEP LOVE (6) closed off nicely for third at Kilmore on May 21 when a well-fancied favourite and looms as a key player here, while BLACKRANGE GLORY (11) is also a winning chance. BACK: ARTIGAS (10) – 2 units (win)
