RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FAIRPLAY (9) was very impressive winning first-up from a break here at Melton a fortnight ago when sweeping around the field at the corner and racing clear to score decisively. He’s a handy horse who is only lightly raced and might get a lovely trip here in the small field. There appears good speed off the front line, which should give him the chance to rattle over the top late. MIGHTY JOLT (5) led and was only nailed late by TARA VICTORY (2) when first-up for Dean Braun back in late March and it’s expected driver Jordan Leedham will make a bid for the top where he’d be hard to beat, MY UNCLE STAN (3) had a dip for the lead, took cover in the running line and still finished well when fifth behind Big Sledge Hammer last weekend, while THESTATESMAN (6) had no luck in that race and dropped out, but his prior form was very strong. BACK: FAIRPLAY (9) – 3 units (win)
