RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CIGANO (7) was super impressive winning first-up as a four-year-old at Melton on June 13 when he settled back in the field and let rip with a sweeping final lap to score decisively. That was 1720m and this is over 2240m, so driver Mark Pitt might elect to work forward with fast beginner MAXNJAX (5) in a bid to find the lead. Either way, he clearly goes on top as a likely short-priced favourite. SWEET IDEAL (8) led and won a good race at Melton latest, and while she has the sticky inside back row gate this time, the Lawlor family’s mare possesses blistering speed and should be storming late with even luck. LET HER ROLL (9) is first-up from a long spell but brings top form to the table and heads here following two trials, while SON OF MAC (6) had a tick-over trial at Melton during the week following a last-start victory from the breeze at Melton on May 9.
