RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HIGHLAND HARTBREAKA (8) has been performing soundly at Metropolitan level and was runner up behind Gunforhire in a strong mile rate of 1.56.1 (2240m) at his latest attempt. He appears to be well placed against this line up and will prove hard to beat. WE DEALIN DIAMONDS (1) is a speedy type that is perfectly drawn to suit his racing patten. She has been unplaced in all of her three starts since resuming but she should be reaching her peak and she did post a very quick mile rate of 1.52.4 at a Wagga victory during her last preparation. PATIRO (7) hasn’t performed up to expectations at his three starts since coming from New Zealand but his latest fourth was encouraging, where he was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished off well. He is the class runner of the field on assessments and if he can return to the form he showed across the Tasman, he would be hard to beat against this line up. DRESSED IN GOLD (6) is a fast beginner and will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment so he is not without a chance.
