RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PICKLE IT (6) drops in class and races particularly well at Cranbourne, especially when able to find the front. There's good speed drawn inside him, so he'll have to earn the lead if he's to find it, but there doesn't appear to be much pressure once positions are established. REASON TO LAUGH (1) has had plenty of opportunities to break through this preparation, but none better than this. He draws the pole and drops significantly in grade. He should secure the right run and be in the finish. NIVEKALON EAGLE (3) has gate speed and will play a major role in how the race maps. He's shown signs of returning to form and this looks his most suitable opportunity to return to the winners' list. CHASING THE WIND (4) is second-up after a solid run in stronger company first-up. If he maps softly, he has claims in a race lacking depth.
