RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: EXOTIC CHESTER (2) drew wide and went back to last on debut at Geelong last week, but reeled off a big finale to finish fourth. It was a really encouraging first-up display, and from the better draw he can go close in what appears a maiden without much depth. BETTOR PUNTER (7) has a sticky gate but looks ready to break his maiden after some good recent efforts, including when third at Melton a fortnight ago in a slick enough last quarter, IMALLATTITUDE (5) ran a great second at Horsham on May 25 and there was a huge margin back to third which I always like, while HANORA (1) gets the services of master reinsman James Herbertson and the inside gate, so can improve sharply on his two career runs to date. BACK: EXOTIC CHESTER (2) – 2 units (win)
