RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: DAY TWO (1) ran a cracker for second behind Some American two starts back at Melton and was good again bringing up the running line when fourth to SOAP AND BUBBLES (7) last time. He gets a good gate and I think he’s got a great hope if not buried away early. CIGANO (5) is another smart Emma Stewart-trained pacer who returns for his first start as a four-year-old. He produced a slick last quarter to win his tune-up trial and has great form through his three-year-old season. Huge danger. MAXNJAX (6) is a slick beginner who led, handed up and won a strong race last time, while KEAYANG WASABI (4) is another of the fast beginners who is hard to knock based on recent form. Good race! BACK: DAY TWO (1) – 2 units (each-way)
