Race comment
OVERVIEW: HITCH TO HIS STAR (9) is flying for team Turnbull and looks well placed to give this 0W/15.0K clash a real shake. Last time, he made up big ground from last in an on-pace dominated race at Kilmore and before that chased home Fairplay for second at Melton, with a quicker closing half than the winner and big margin back to third. Fairplay has since won dominantly, so the form reads really well. Keen he goes close from the nice back row draw. ENJOY LIFE (12) is set to start favourite and looks hard to beat now back in the care of trainer Emma Stewart. The three-year-old colt is unbeaten from five career runs in Tasmania and was really good cutting Group 1 winner Arrythmia to a narrow margin at the trials in preparation for this. ROYAL APPOINTMENT (1) lands the lovely gate and is bound to win one of these races eventually, while HIGHLANDHARTBREAKA (2) draws well in gate two and might be some chance of crossing to the fence, where he’d be a key player. BACK: HITCH TO HIS STAR (9) – 2 units (each-way)

Race comment
OVERVIEW: HITCH TO HIS STAR (9) is flying for team Turnbull and looks well placed to give this 0W/15.0K clash a real shake. Last time, he made up big ground from last in an on-pace dominated race at Kilmore and before that chased home Fairplay for second at Melton, with a quicker closing half than the winner and big margin back to third. Fairplay has since won dominantly, so the form reads really well. Keen he goes close from the nice back row draw. ENJOY LIFE (12) is set to start favourite and looks hard to beat now back in the care of trainer Emma Stewart. The three-year-old colt is unbeaten from five career runs in Tasmania and was really good cutting Group 1 winner Arrythmia to a narrow margin at the trials in preparation for this. ROYAL APPOINTMENT (1) lands the lovely gate and is bound to win one of these races eventually, while HIGHLANDHARTBREAKA (2) draws well in gate two and might be some chance of crossing to the fence, where he’d be a key player. BACK: HITCH TO HIS STAR (9) – 2 units (each-way)

Race comment
OVERVIEW: HITCH TO HIS STAR (9) is flying for team Turnbull and looks well placed to give this 0W/15.0K clash a real shake. Last time, he made up big ground from last in an on-pace dominated race at Kilmore and before that chased home Fairplay for second at Melton, with a quicker closing half than the winner and big margin back to third. Fairplay has since won dominantly, so the form reads really well. Keen he goes close from the nice back row draw. ENJOY LIFE (12) is set to start favourite and looks hard to beat now back in the care of trainer Emma Stewart. The three-year-old colt is unbeaten from five career runs in Tasmania and was really good cutting Group 1 winner Arrythmia to a narrow margin at the trials in preparation for this. ROYAL APPOINTMENT (1) lands the lovely gate and is bound to win one of these races eventually, while HIGHLANDHARTBREAKA (2) draws well in gate two and might be some chance of crossing to the fence, where he’d be a key player.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: HITCH TO HIS STAR (9) is flying for team Turnbull and looks well placed to give this 0W/15.0K clash a real shake. Last time, he made up big ground from last in an on-pace dominated race at Kilmore and before that chased home Fairplay for second at Melton, with a quicker closing half than the winner and big margin back to third. Fairplay has since won dominantly, so the form reads really well. Keen he goes close from the nice back row draw. ENJOY LIFE (12) is set to start favourite and looks hard to beat now back in the care of trainer Emma Stewart. The three-year-old colt is unbeaten from five career runs in Tasmania and was really good cutting Group 1 winner Arrythmia to a narrow margin at the trials in preparation for this. ROYAL APPOINTMENT (1) lands the lovely gate and is bound to win one of these races eventually, while HIGHLANDHARTBREAKA (2) draws well in gate two and might be some chance of crossing to the fence, where he’d be a key player. BACK: HITCH TO HIS STAR (9) – 2 units (each-way)
