RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: GOZO MAJOR (7) drops in grade and was a winner five runs back in a race of similar strength, with the form out of that race holding up ok since. Forget he went around last time as his task was too big after being caught wide, but his starts prior were very good in much tougher company. He’s a quick beginner and is obliged to go forward and test these. PICKLE IT (4) is a very quick beginner but last time out had to work too hard and over raced over the middle trip, though he stuck on well considering not much went his way. He’s best served when he can lead over the short trip, and he looks to get that map here and will take running down. CHASING THE WIND (1) came through that race and improved sharply to be narrowly defeated on the line. He looks to get a soft run from the draw, so a repeat performance can see him go close. DOT BALL (5) drops to a more suitable grade here and was a winner back in May under the same ratings band. The problem is she is often map-negative and will have a lot of ground to make up over the short journey. BACK: GOZO MAJOR (7) – 1 unit (win)
