RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: KEAYANG ZIA (5) is the younger sister of champion mare Keayang Zahara. She is a first starter who has been given plenty of time to develop. Her first trial was back in 2024, but she now makes her raceday debut after finishing second in a recent Terang trial. She looks an interesting prospect and we will learn more about her here. ALCOMBZ (7) has had two career starts. He made a mistake on debut before finishing fourth at this track at his second outing after making a sustained run. He trialled well before making his debut and has shown he has ability. PIQUE (2) resumed with a strong second last start, charging home late. She should take improvement from that performance and looks well placed from the favourable draw. WATCH THE BAY (6) has had little luck in recent starts, but some of his performances on the clock have been encouraging. He will need some luck in running but is one to keep an eye on.
