RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: MISTER DEVEREAUX (6) finished second last start behind BROTHER MOUNTAIN in a much stronger race than this. He has good gate speed and returns to maiden company here, which looks a significant advantage. RIPPING RONALDO (8) got it wrong when galloping on debut last start, but his trial form has been encouraging. He clearly has ability, but needs to put it all together mentally. If he brings his manners, he is a genuine chance. Outside of MISTER DEVEREAUX (6) and RIPPING RONALDO (8), the remainder of the field appears quite even. LOVE DANCIN (4) also made a mistake on debut and will need to improve her manners. Her trial form makes her difficult to assess, but we should learn more about her here. VOUCHER QUEEN (2) can take advantage of barrier two and should secure a favourable run. BACK: MISTER DEVEREAUX (6) – 2 units (win)
