RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: TALKBABYTALK (3) took 26 starts to win his maiden and then went back-to-back with a really strong victory from the chair at Melton last Friday night. The lead time was hot there, he did work to get to the breeze and still managed to fight hard and hold off all comers. It was a top effort and this assignment again looks suitable. Might be really hard to beat if he finds the front. SHIFFRIN (10) is a lightly-raced filly from the Andy Gath stable who dropped out after a hard run last time but has ability, HAPPENSTBEABEACHBOY (11) has hit the line really nicely from well back in a couple of recent runs and will be closing hard, while AVEIRO (1) draws well and his form through April was really strong. BACK: TALKBABYTALK (3) – 1.5 units (each-way)
