RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Hard to split a few of these, but trainer Ross Graham looks to have two of the key chances in AT THE DISTANCE (5) and AGAINST THE BRIDLE (2). AT THE DISTANCE (5) beat home his stablemate at Cranbourne when second last time out and before that did a power of work and still managed a runner-up placing at Shepparton. James Herbertson goes aboard here and that’s good enough for me in this wide-open event. AGAINST THE BRIDLE (2) should be able to work over to find the fence and that gives him a chance of figuring prominently, I’ve fancied STEADY DREAM (3) her last two as favourite, and while she’s let me down both times, she must have a chance again, while MAJESTIC CHARMA (10) can do plenty wrong but did win well two back at Cranbourne when trotting throughout.
