RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: ASPEN BELLE (2) makes her debut off two solid trial wins. In the most recent at Maryborough, she came off the speed and looked to do it quite comfortably while remaining clean-gaited. Considering the opposition is well exposed, she can go close based on those trial efforts if she brings the same attitude to race day. MISS KOMMUNICATION (1) is threatening to win a race, she just can’t seem to get it done, either mixing her gait at the wrong time or simply finding one better. The soft draw and the map are in her favour. GYM QUEEN (3) has a solid SP profile based on some good runs but just can’t find the speed necessary in the last quarter to hold out her rivals. She looks the leader again here over the short trip and will look the winner at some stage. MI BOW (5) is another who has had plenty of chances to break her maiden, but she is still racing ok. She may have to do it tough from this sticky draw.
