RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: This looks an even event with plenty of winning chances. In races like this, siding with the runner that maps best is often the safest option and, with the scratching of the horse from barrier one, LOVE WHO (2) will now start from the ace barrier. He has been racing reasonably well and the fence trip should help him return to his best form. CHAMPAGNES (6) has enjoyed a career-best past 12 months and was a solid winner at Maryborough last start. The barrier makes the task a little harder, but in a small field she just needs to trot throughout to be right in the finish. THE FIERY SUNSET (7) is another runner in excellent form. She was a good third at Geelong last start after racing in the breeze. ITGETSBETTER (4) has been racing consistently well and should be able to settle in a favourable position. Also respecting BROWN EYED KATE (5), who is in career-best form. She has won her past three starts and, prior to that, finished in the top three at six of her previous eight starts. She comes into this race full of confidence.
