RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KATUNGA EXPRESS (6) has been racing well and produced a solid third at Melton on Saturday night behind Maas Betting Again and Seaside Boy. This looks to be an easier assignment. MONTANA PRIDE (5) is a little horse with a big heart and is always competitive. At his past two starts, he has drawn barrier seven at Melton but still managed to finish strongly from well back to fill a placing on both occasions. TELEMACHUS (1) has been a little below his best recently, but he has the gate speed and the ace barrier to make full use of. ROCKELLA (3) is third up and should now be nearing peak fitness. His two runs this campaign have both been solid. BACK: KATUNGA EXPRESS (6) – 1 unit (win)
