RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: THE STEEL DRAGON (1) clocked some outstanding sectionals (race fastest 54.90 last half, 1:55.53 last mile) in his most recent outing at Melton when he finished fifth behind Major Blitz. He came from last down the back straight in the big field, and had all the best splits home despite covering the equal most ground in the race. He’s not a brilliant beginner, but if he can do enough to settle in behind the leader, he will take a power of holding out late. FAIRPLAY (9) is first-up since May 2025, has trialled nicely twice in preparation for this and will likely start a warm favourite given he hails from the Emma Stewart barn, MIGHTY JOLT (3) can be a sharp improver drawn off the front here as he might be able to lead, while HITCH TO HIS STAR (7) was a good winner at Wagga latest and looks the next best of the winning hopes. BACK: THE STEEL DRAGON (1) – 1.5 units (each-way)
