RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KARTIARE (7) is a get-back, run-on type who heads back to Melton after a start at Menangle where he made up good ground from last to finish fourth. Two runs ago, he settled on the back of HITTHEROADJACK (5) and ran straight past that horse before just missing in a photo to Big Sledge Hammer. He’s a talented horse who has six wins from 16 starts, and he looks well suited here in the small field. HITTHEROADJACK (5) had been out of form for some time, but his last two starts have been fantastic runner-up placings to Fairplay and Most Exciting. If he gets the front, which looks likely, he’s a huge player. PESCI (6) has been well held in two strong races to start the preparation and wouldn’t shock with the right trip, while FERRIGNO (3) might be next in line, but is perhaps a place hope more than a winning one.
