RACE COMMENT
ANALYSIS: ALDEBARAN ABEL (3) was so impressive winning over the sprint trip back at Bendigo on June 10 and gets those conditions to suit again here. While he wasn’t able to prevail last weekend over the middle distance here at Melton, he did run well to finish fourth after working off the gate, settling midfield before sprinting again. It’s a wide-open event with many winning chances, including PROHIBITED GRACE (4). She led, handed up and went within a neck of beating Artigas in the same race ALDEBARAN ABEL (3) and THE SKY IS THE LIMIT (2) contested last weekend. FARROKH (6) was impressive first-up from a break when third to Artigas back on June 13 and that followed two good wins to end the prior campaign, and KARBINE (8) is in good form but found it too tough from a bad barrier in a pegs-dominated Winter Series Final last weekend. If he settles handy to the speed, look out late. Others that wouldn’t shock are THE SKY IS THE LIMIT (2), who draws well for the first time in a while, strong first-up winner RARITY ROCK (1) and SIR EROS (5), who has trialled nicely for new trainers Richard and Emmett Brosnan.
