RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SHARP INTEREST (7) has really delivered on her potential this season, only missing a place once with three terrific wins from six starts. She’s normally best when she can show her speed at the top end, but last start she went back from a similar draw and was able to win from near last in good time. The draw is tricky, but you have master tactician Nathan Jack to overcome that. OH SWEET CREATURE (1) looked as though he was close to a win when he was racing up in grade, but he was a little plain last time in a winnable race. Prepared to forgive that with the positive draw and good set-up. WITHIN REASON (6) is an honest, gutsy type who has run some of his best races on speed. The front row draw and class drop helps him to improve here. GUEST ARTIST (2) found support here last week but was forced to sit parked in fast time and, all things considered, stuck on well. He needs to be kept safe from the good draw.
