RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: EL LAZZAR (4) settled in a rearward position and was planted out four horses wide from the 300m when a fast finishing and narrow second behind Rock Poster at Horsham last outing. He would have been successful in one more stride and he gets his chance to go one better now. MY ULTIMATE MATEO (3) was performing really well at the trials prior to his debut performance so he is much better than what he has shown at his four starts to date. He was held up behind the tiring leader coming up to the home turn and picked up late when third at Shepparton last time out so he is worth another chance. CAPTIVATE ME (1) is a former South Australian trained pacer, which joins trainer Naomi Kerr. He is a fast beginner and is drawn to receive every chance so he must be kept safe. MAXI ANGEL (5) has been performing well at Mildura and finished off nicely from three back on the markers when second two starts ago. He is awkwardly drawn but is not without a chance. BACK: EL LAZZAR (4) – 4 units (win)
