RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LONGTAN VIPER (8) has been flying this preparation and was rewarded for his consistency, winning the Warragul Cup heat and final earlier this month. Forget his last run, as he was way up in class. He’s proven to be a versatile type as far as racing pattern goes and looks to map well drawn behind a quick beginner who normally likes to hold the lead. He’ll get his shot at the passing lane. LINE DANCE (1) has drawn perfectly to utilise his good gate speed and has been racing well, often meeting with good market support, particularly when he can race at the front end. He beat the top pick three runs back and will take some catching. KING SAINT (7) is in terrific form and, despite the draw, has no issue doing work in his races. He’ll have to earn it, but he’s racing in great heart. HELLOVATIME (2) is the stablemate to the top pick and is also racing well. He maps softly from the draw and, if they happen to overdo things, he can be strong late. BACK: LONGTAN VIPER (8) – 1.5 units (win)
