RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Always hard drawn outside the back row over the 1720m, but MIDNIGHT MOTH (11) looks a very nice type for the Emma Stewart barn and heads into this assignment following a track record-setting success at Geelong on July 3. The three-year-old is still very green and does things wrong, but has plenty of upside with four wins from six career starts. He’s destined for much better grade than this. Stablemate SEASIDE BOY (9) has been a beaten favourite his past three, but all runs have been full of merit in defeat. Last weekend, he worked hard from the back row to eventually find the front and was only worn down late by the in-form Rocknroll Willow off his back. TELEMACHUS (4) led and won at Ballarat two back and the initial lead looks his again here, while SWEET IRISH LOCH (2) did a great job to come off speed and run down Ollies The Boss last time in the wet at Melton. KEAYANG PAYTON (10) and Breeders Crown finalist PICK UP ELVIS (8) are other key hopes worth considering for exotics.
