RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: BAY OF FIRES (5) is a debutante for trainer Wayne Potter, which was impressive in winning a Shepparton trial over the two times winner Dembe last week. He appears to be very promising and should make his presence felt. FANTASY FLIGHT (7) was also very good at the trials last week with a victory at Geelong and should go well first up. He hasn’t raced since a third behind Keayang Dreamgirl at Terang in March but showed enough ability last campaign to suggest he will be very competitive under these conditions. MISTY ALWAYS (3) was caught wide early, restrained to last and held her ground late when sixth at Kilmore last outing. She was placed in her two attempts prior and is worth another chance. GATSBY (1) is a juvenile colt taking on older horses but he has the ability to fill a place. He was in a striking position but broke stride with 500m when he was unplaced at his debut and has won a trial since. DIAMONDONTHEROCKS (8) led from a wide draw and was run down over the final stages when fourth at Shepparton last outing. He drops back to the second line now but he is capable of filling a place. BACK: BAY OF FIRES (5) – 3 units (win)
