RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: WILL HE REIGN (2) has been very good at his past two starts, aided by being able to race prominently over the sprint trip. He looks the likely leader from this draw and, considering he worked harder last time and still recorded the fastest closing quarter, that may be enough for him to go one better. IM DUSTEE (8) came through the same race and was unlucky not to win after recording the fastest last half of the event. The draw makes things tricky, but recent performances suggest he's back to his best. THERESHEWAS (4) ran into a smart one last week when finishing second after enjoying a good run. The closing sectionals were strong and she can be in the finish again. IAMAWINGATE (1) has won two of his past four starts. This is a class rise, but the draw and leading driver engagement are positives. BACK: WILL HE REIGN (2) – 2 units (win)
