RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BLACK OPAL JACK (11) will appreciate a big drop back in class for this assignment and will prove hard to beat. He competed against top opposition in the Nutrien Classic series at Wagga, where sixth in the Final behind the star pacer Hollywood Strip then followed with a sixth behind Major Blitz in a sizzling mile rate of 1.54.0. BIGBASHASH (7) won comfortably at her debut performance then was spelled after a creditable fourth behind Chogi in February. She finished second at a Maryborough trial effort last week and appears to have a promising future. THE SPORTZ STAR (4) has been racing against strong opposition and has the early speed to be prominent throughout. He is a short course specialist so the conditions of this race appear to be suitable. SKIPPYS DELIGHT (5), KEAYANG HUNGRY (9) and VINNY ROCK (10) all have claims in a good race to end the program. BACK: BLACK OPAL JACK (11) – 2 units (win)   The odds quoted on the fields page are a GoodForm generated price estimate based on a range of key form factors and are not necessarily the odds that may be offered by a licensed bookmaker.
