RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: It is an open race with many winning chances. PUNTO CALIENTE (5) settled in a rearward position and was very wide from the 400m so he had excuses at his latest fourth. He finished well and just failed to overhaul Wow You Can Dance at Mildura on June 26 so he must be included amongst the leading chances. GROVE DALE (2) is a fast beginner and is perfectly drawn to suit his racing pattern. He performs best over the sprint distance but he does appear to be well placed against this field. Presuming the emergency AUCKLAND LASS (1) fails to gain a start, SUNSHINE WARRIOR (7) has the perfect trailing draw behind GROVE DALE (2) and will receive every chance. He finished off best to win a race of similar standard three starts ago. ALIENFROMARMSTRONG (6) is stepping up from the maiden class but he has finished off nicely in both of his efforts since resuming and is not without a chance. ROJENBYE (11) will appreciate a drop back in class and is a possible improver.
