RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BAY OF FIRES (5) backed up his solid trials, proving most impressive when winning on debut in good time. He showed good gate speed to overcome his main rival in betting and beat the rest by a space. There’s no reason why he can’t cross to the pegs again from a similar draw, and this race doesn’t present as overly strong for him to repeat the dose and continue on his winning way. HEAVENLY FLYER (4) has proven a most consistent filly this campaign, only missing a place once in seven attempts, and was rewarded with victory last time out. She looks to get a nice map, sliding across inside the top pick to find a good position. FULL CRUNCH AHEAD (3) was good in his runs last campaign, but in his trials since he hasn’t appeared to pack the same punch. He could be open to sharp improvement under race conditions. DALLASCOWBOY (8) won on debut in decent fashion and couldn’t overcome a bad draw when resuming this preparation in a dash home. He has a sticky draw to overcome but is worth keeping safe. BACK: BAY OF FIRES (5) – 2 units (win)
