RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KIA ORA BEAUTY (1) will appreciate a decent drop back in class for this assignment and had little luck in obtaining a clear passage when an unlucky seventh at Swan Hill last week so she gets her chance to improve under these conditions. MISTER JIMARINGLE (4) returned to winning form when he parked without cover for the majority of the journey and dominated an easier field last week. He is drawn to give another forward showing despite meeting a field of more depth. HES CHARLIES ANGEL (6) was resuming since May when he set up a genuine tempo and was run down late at Shepparton. He should strip fitter for this assignment and he has been competitive at a much higher level previously so he cannot be left out of calculations. CITY ROCKSTAR (3) showed a glimpse of her best form when second behind the smart pacer Mount Barker Boy at Ballarat last outing. She is a speedy beginner and is suited to racing over the sprint distance so she must be included amongst the leading chances. BACK: KIA ORA BEAUTY (1) – 1 unit (each way)
