RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HESASTAR (6) is yet to win in sixteen starts for the season but he gets his opportunity under these conditions. He pushed forward to race without cover when a game third behind No Emotion (won again since) then he endured a similar trip when fifth last week. He is more versatile than most in this event and should prove hard to beat. CORNELIA (4) has been safely held at her past three attempts but she found the front and scored under similar conditions on April 11 so she looms as the logical danger. TRYAGAINFREDDY (5) met a very strong field when unplaced behind Happily at Horsham last outing and is likely to find this event to be more suitable. He used the perfect trailing draw to his advantage when he trailed the leader throughout and won at Mildura on April 17. GROVE DALE (1) has been run down in the leading role at his past two attempts but he was placed at his previous two attempts and should adopt his usual front running role again from the pole position.
