RACE COMMENT
ANALYSIS: Had a little bit of trouble splitting APOLLOSTORM (5) and LE CARDINAL (2), but have gone the way of the former for Emma Stewart. He couldn’t have been more impressive leading and winning an easier race than this in a rapid last half of 53.8 a fortnight ago at Melton. It was a scintillating return as a four-year-old and he looks set for a great campaign. LE CARDINAL (2) has stacks of ability and ran a great race from off the speed to finish third in a hot three-year-old contest behind Luvtobeuptome and Most Exciting here on June 6. He’s a very good horse and will likely be a better price than APOLLOSTORM (5), so is worth serious consideration. OLLIES THE BOSS (4) is airborne this campaign and absolutely savaged the line from four back the pegs to just miss Sols Me Name at Geelong last Friday, while MIGHTY JOLT (11) is probably a place chance at best but heads the others.
