RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PRIDDY CARSON (10) settled in the second half of the field and produced a big finish when a close second behind Rubbleonthedouble last week. He would have won in another stride and he has been promising a win for some time against this class so he is worth an investment. RED HOT MIKI (1) was heavily supported the last time he drew on the pole position but he ruined his chances with a poor getaway. He is racing better than his form reads and gets his chance to improve on his numerical form. LOSEASHOE (2) began brilliantly from a wide draw to find the lead, ran along at a genuine tempo and won well at Mildura on May 15. He hasn’t been able to find the front at his past four attempts but he is a good chance of leading under these conditions so he might be able to return to winning form. ROJENBYE (7) will gain an economical trip from his trailing draw and should be finishing off strongly. BACK: PRIDDY CARSON (10) – 1 unit (each way)
