RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: I AM THE STORM (9) is two from two this campaign and looks hard to beat in his bid for three-straight victories. He has led and won both starts since resuming from a spell, and while that scenario looks unlikely from the back row, he appears pretty classy and can handle this type of field. OZZIE CORKA (6) is ready to win and I expect Daryl Douglas will use his gate speed in a bid to find the top. He has been runner-up from a spot behind the leader in his most recent starts and is a danger. GOOD TOBE LOCKSLEY (8) has been in good form since joining the Adam Kelly yard and closed nicely for fourth behind I AM THE STORM (9) last week when buried away four back the fence, and ISOLATION (1) can prove a factor from this draw.
