RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: COVERED IN GOLD (8) has thrived since joining the Chris Svanosio stable. He endured two unlucky runs before breaking through with a strong win last start. The barrier is awkward, but if he can find clear running, he is capable of winning again. FEEL THE REIGN (9) is a 28-time winner who has been a quality performer at his best. If he can follow through into a suitable position, he has the finishing speed to be charging home late. Australia's leading driver James Herbertson takes the reins for the first time. SKIPPYS DELIGHT (3) has covered extra ground in stronger races at his recent starts. His performances have been sound and, with the right run, he appeals as a good each-way chance. HURRIKANE DUSTY (2) is racing well and has the gate speed to potentially find the front. His encouraging run last start suggests he is back near his best. METRO MEMORY (1) must be respected here from the barrier. Also noting YARRAMAN JOLT (7), who resumes for John Tormey. He has the best gate speed and sectional times in this field. BACK: FEEL THE REIGN (9) – 1 unit (win)/ 2 units (place)
