RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ESPERANZA (4) is a former New South Wales trained pacer, which finished second behind Torque In Heaven at her local debut. She appeared to have her chance first up but this race is easier and she should be fitter so she warrants consideration. MYNAMEISRUBY (2) led out then took cover behind the winner Dreamtime Nala when second at Melton last outing. She is drawn to obtain her favourite position behind the leader again so she must be included amongst the leading chances. PUNTO CALIENTE (7) was restrained at the start, settled last on the markers and angled wide from the 300m when a handy finishing second at Mildura last week. He is racing consistently against this class and is worth a ticket each way. CHALKNDCHEDDAR (6) is working back into his peak form having been placed in two of his last three starts and is a place chance again along with SUNSHINE WARRIOR (8). BACK: ESPERANZA (4) – 2 units (win)
