RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SWEET IRISH LOCH (3) has produced two good runs since joining the Joe Pace stable. She recorded a tough win at Ballarat before following up with a solid second at Melton. She lacks brilliant gate speed, so will need some luck early. YA BOTTOM DOLLAR (1) was good last start at Melton, hitting the line well against strong opposition. He should have enough gate speed to map positively from the inside draw. FEARLESS WRITER (6) has put together some nice performances in stronger races than this recently. He just seems to keep finding one or two rivals a little better than him, but he has genuine claims here. STARZZZ DESTINY (7) appears to have the best turn of foot in this event. He will need some luck from barrier seven, but is likely to be one of the horses charging home late. BACK: SWEET IRISH LOCH (3) – 2 units (win)
