RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: DELIGHTFUL MIKI (3) is a very smart mare, which was resuming since December when she raced without cover throughout and won comfortably at Shepparton. She should be even better from that run and will prove hard to beat again. JUST PEDRO (1) settled in a rearward position (1-5), attempted to trail forward out three horses wide in the final circuit then switched back to the inner and finished fast when a close second behind I’m Wesley last week. He is perfectly drawn and should go well again. CELESTIAL ZODIAC (8) settled five back on the markers, moved into the one out and one back trail at the 500m mark and finished off well for second behind Our Ultimate Gracy last outing. He should gain an economical run from the trailing draw and is worth a ticket each way. SAVON DE ROCHE (7) has been freshened since a sixth at Melton in May but she was very good at a Maryborough trial on Sunday, where she was able to gun down the open class pacer Rackemup Tigerpie. She is poorly drawn first up but she has the ability to feature prominently. BACK: DELIGHTFUL MIKI (3) – 3 units (win)
