RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: APOLLOSTORM (2) looks the lock of the night here as he shoots for three-straight wins to start the campaign. He has led and been scintillating in both triumphs as a four-year-old and this looks like a rinse and repeat job from the good gate and with OZZIE CORKA (1) a known hand-up horse. I’d be very surprised if he was beaten. KARTIARE (9) is a lovely pacer from the Quinlan yard who probably should have won last time out, but cost himself with some erratic manners. He has a booming finish and will be charging late. HOORAH PHILTRA (8) might get that nice trip three back the fence and has great form since joining the Herbertson stable, and ODIN (7) is a horse in good form but the barrier draw hurts his winning chances.
