RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: POPPY POPSTAR (4) is racing in career best form having been placed at her past nine starts. She set up a genuine tempo in the lead and was run down at the end by Artigas (won again since) last outing and is capable of going one better now. GATESYS MATE (7) gained a nice trail and appeared to be under pressure at the 600m but rallied in the straight when third behind Te Amo on a wet track at Kilmore last outing. He won at Cranbourne prior and he should go well despite the wide draw. DEEP LOVE (5) attempted to lead early but couldn’t get across POPPY POPSTAR (4) and restrained to gain a position on the markers when a reasonable fourth last outing. He finished okay for third behind Sammy Haller (won again since) prior and is worth thought against this line up. THE CHOOK (1) is resuming since March but she is a speedy mare and is drawn to receive every chance so she cannot be left out of calculations.
