RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LITTLE YANKEE (6) is an evergreen 10-year-old who is racing really well, with his last outing a fast-finishing second to the handy Vytis. He has good form around horses like I Am Wilma and Im Bobby, and will be storming home late. He should go close. IJUSTCALLEDTOSAY (7) has been in sparkling form his past couple of starts, with a big win from back in the field here on June 27 followed by a dominant front-running success in quick time a week later. He’s shooting for three-straight, and while he’s drawn outside the line, the small field of seven means he won’t be far off his rivals. He has a good turn of foot and might be too slick in the run home. Group 1 winner KEAYANG KURKI (5) was held up when fourth here behind Alrighty last weekend and should be ready to fire third-up, FREIGHT SHAKER (3) has shown good signs in both runs this campaign and HOWDY MATE (2) won well here last start and is a three-year-old with good ability. BACK: LITTLE YANKEE (6) – 3 units (win)
