RACE COMMENT
ANALYSIS: POPPY POPSTAR (2) is currently in great form and certainly looks capable of adding another victory to her resume. She led and was only nailed late by Deep Love at Maryborough on June 17 and before that ran second to Artigas, who has won twice at Melton on a Saturday night since. Hard to beat. AI SEDHAI (5) is also racing in great form and followed up a good Maryborough win with a game third placing at Geelong last Friday, NO TELLING HEATHER (1) isn’t setting the world on fire at present but should run well in this grade from gate one, while NIGHT FLIGHT (4) has blistering gate speed and can figure if he gets down to the pegs from gate four. BACK: POPPY POPSTAR (2) – 2 units (win)
