RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HAPPENSTBABEACHBOY (9) produced a good third in the 1200-metre event at Melton last start. Horses often come out of those short distance races sharper, and he looks well placed from a favourable barrier. WICHITA KANSAS (6) has been racing well on the clock recently. The barrier makes the task a little trickier, but with the right run he is a genuine winning chance. THE IRISHMAN (1) has been out of the winners' list for some time, but he has enough gate speed to make the most of the ace barrier. LIKE A GAZELLE (8) was impressive when breaking through for her maiden victory at Ballarat in February. She resumes from a spell here and is likely to be driven with cover. BACK: HAPPENSTBABEACHBOY (9) – 2 units (win)
