RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MOUNT BARKER BOY (1) was a little disappointing when a well beaten favourite in his first look at Saturday night Melton grade, but did have to work hard for the front and they ran solid time. His prior three wins from the front were pretty good, he looks the early leader here and I’m not sure there will be a great deal of pressure. Given all that he goes on top, but without a great deal of confidence. CLYMENUS (9) is going really well of late and might drop three back the fence from barrier nine, THESTATESMAN (8) should trail through behind the favourite and would be a danger from there, FIRE MARSHALL (2) is certainly capable but it will be hard if he doesn’t find the fence, while Scott Ewen’s handy mare TARA VICTORY (11) was in good form before a break and will be closing hard.
