RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: GUEST ARTIST (1) was beaten by ODINS BLACK CROWS (2) last week but the barrier draw is reversed this afternoon so he is capable of turning the tables. He competed at Metropolitan level at his Victorian debut and he did well for second last week after beginning from the inside of the second line. YAPPER (7) has the perfect trailing draw behind GUEST ARTIST (1) and should go well. He was placed in a slick mile rate of 1.54.3 after trailing the leader at Shepparton on May 19. ODINS BLACK CROWS (2) began quickly and ran along at an even tempo when he scored on Friday. He might not be able to find the lead here but another bold showing is expected. LITTLE WONDER (3) is racing in career best form and battled on strongly for third after working hard in the run last week. She recorded a mile rate of 1.55.5 when she scored at Wagga prior and she should be prominent throughout from her good draw. BACK: GUEST ARTIST (1) – 2 units (win)
