RACE COMMENT
ANALYSIS: MONTANA PRIDE (5) has been buried away on the fence his last three starts and nowhere to be seen in the finish, but produced an eye-catching third to the in-form Major Blitz when last at Ballarat in what was a great run. The small field suits and he looks well and truly up to turning around his form in this. CELESTIAL ZODIAC (4) has been hitting the line hard recently and looms as a good chance, LEAVEMEOUT (2) draws alongside stablemate SHAZZA LOVE (1) and beat home all bar SWEET IRISH LOCH (6) last time at Melton, while KATUNGA EXPRESS (7) is racing well and is another of the hopes in a race where they all have claims.
