RACE COMMENT
A competitive No More Than One Win race for the three-year-olds, where virtually every runner appears capable of winning with the right run in transit. SWEETHEART DIOR (9) broke through for her maiden win last start after doing plenty of work in the run before proving too strong, albeit in only fair overall time. She has since trialled well and, provided she behaves herself, should enjoy a nice trail from the back row and be hard to hold out late. HEYNOWHEYNOW (8) has drawn awkwardly on the back row but looks a promising type. He will require luck from the draw, although clear running in the home straight would make him a major winning chance. OMYBACNKNEESJUDGE (1) is expected to attempt an all-the-way victory after breaking through for his maiden three starts ago and producing two sound efforts before breaking gait last start. The Davis prepared pair KLITSCHKO LEIS (3) and WINNING BREW (4) have ability and are racing better than their recent numerical form suggests since winning their maidens in April. Both have drawn favourably and should be given every opportunity to improve. A DRAGON FOR JOE (6) and SHES NANCY (7) have also been racing well but face awkward barriers and may be driven conservatively, hoping for genuine tempo to bring them into the race. The same applies to ZIHUATANEJO (11), who showed plenty of ability when first arriving in Tasmania before things went wrong last start and could easily be the big improver.Selections: SWEETHEART DIOR (9), HEYNOWHEYNOW (8), OMYBACNKNEESJUDGE (1), SHES NANCY (7)
