RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BETA THAN LOVE (1) returns to the Samantha Gangell stable after a winless 16 months. When formerly under her care he won two from three starts, going back-to-back at this track before racing up in grade at Melton where he led and ran well. His best is at a much higher ratings band than he meets here, and with his terrific gate speed he’ll get the right trip and can bounce back to winning form. PICKLE IT (7) is a very quick beginner and will have a look at the lead here. It’s problematic whether the top pick will want to take cover, so his fortunes are reliant on him finding the pegs. ALPHA CRUCIS (6) is better than his recent form suggests, and his best performances come at this track. The draw is a little sticky, but he has better credentials than most. IMAGUNNARESTNGO (5) was a surprise winner at massive odds at headquarters four runs back to break her maiden. Whilst that form is an outlier, anything close to that keeps her in the mix. BACK: BETA THAN LOVE (1) – 3.5 units (win)
