RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: APOLOGY ACCEPTED (9) settled three back on the markers, was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished off nicely for second last week. He has been placed in four of his past five starts and deserves to break through for a win. KEAYANG CRIPPA (2) is resuming since March but he was in good form at the end of his last campaign and he will be competitive if he is somewhere near his peak. He possesses early speed and should be prominent throughout from his good draw. STARS LEGACY (6) is an interesting runner. He makes his debut for trainer Aaron Coad and was a winner at Mount Gambier towards the end of his last campaign so he must be kept safe. SNEAKY PHILTRA (7) delivered her best run of the season when she led throughout to score by a big margin last week. She drops back to the second line now and this is a race of more depth but she is worth thought again. BACK: APOLOGY ACCEPTED (9) – 1.5 units (each way)
