RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Tipping an Aldebaran quinella here, with ALDEBARAN ABEL (8) marked marginally ahead of New South Wales visitor ALDEBARAN ZANE (1). Plenty has gone wrong for ALDEBARAN ABEL (8) in recent weeks, including last Saturday night when he was trapped wide when making a mid-race move. Before that, he broke early but still did a good job to only be defeated 10.4m by Keayang Gypsy. So while he’s only beaten one runner home in his last two outings, he’s going much better than that and looks a huge chance if ALDEBARAN ZANE (1) holds the lead. The four-year-old was an impressive winner at Menangle on July 28 and was unlucky not to win when third – beaten just 1.1m by Farrokh – at Kilmore prior to that. Key chance. PARIS KAY (5) won twice in-a-row before being well held in a good race behind the scratched NO MONEY NO HONEY (9) last time, while RINGER WELLS (6) has ability but the draw makes it tough to consider him a winning hope. BACK: ALDEBARAN ABEL (8) – 2 units (win)
