RACE COMMENT
ANALYSIS: HES FROM HEAVEN (4) was caught parked in a race dominated by star New South Wales pacer Hollywood Strip last time at Wagga when he faded for fifth, but his prior two runs were close-up third placings at Melton and Maryborough. Both were full of merit and he draws the most favourably of the “big guns” in this event which might mean he can work forward and find the fence. From there, he’d give this a real shake. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (5) is a fast beginner who will likely press forward in a bid for the lead and would be a great chance if he assumed that role. He has been brave from outside the leader his last couple and is racing in good form. ULTIMATE VINNIE (8) blundered the start last time but his closing third to Oliver Dan prior to that, while CALEXICO (7) has caught the eye from back in the field his last couple, but will need luck from seven. Last-start Menangle winner JACKS ULTIMATE FURY (6) might be another of the early bidders for the front and would probably need to find that position to be a winning chance at this level. BACK: HES FROM HEAVEN (4) – 2 units (win)
