RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: POPPY POPSTAR (9) continues to perform consistently and is one of the leading chances again. She trailed the leader, used the sprint lane and finished a close second behind Jackies Gift in track record time at Echuca last outing. METRO SWISH (7) went quickly in the early stages to find and hold the lead before being run down late when a creditable second at Ballarat last outing. She has a tough draw to overcome but she is nearing a win against this class. BOUTIKA (8) commenced from the inside of the second line, was shuffled back on the markers and weaved a passage over the latter stages when a handy finishing second behind Champagnes last week. She has competed at Metropolitan level a few times recently so she appears to be well placed against this line up. MATTYO (3) is a tough type and is worth thought along with RASTAMON (5) and ARZALI (6), which is resuming but will be fitter after a trial fifth last week. BACK: POPPY POPSTAR (9) – 2 units (win)
