RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: I AM THE STORM (9) looks like running a short-priced favourite here for leading trainer Emma Stewart after a strong start to the campaign that has seen three good wins and a brave fourth when doing plenty of work in a frantic race here at Melton on August 8. He was only beaten 5.8m there and never really got much peace after eventually working to the top on the back of a rapid lead time. This is suitable and he’s sure to go close. OLLIES THE BOSS (1) hasn’t won a race this preparation, but looks ready and draws for a lovely trip. He chased home the impressive Words here on August 7 and has racked up five placings from six starts this time in. GUNFORHIRE (2) was a bit plain last time at Terang, but his effort prior when fourth to Rocknroll Willow was very good from the back and he now gets the services of Ewa Justice, who has won on him before. MIGHTY JOLT (5) has been sparingly raced since joining the Dean Braun barn, but did run a cracker for second on debut for the stable back in late March when he led from this draw. Keep safe. BACK: MULTI – I AM THE STORM/VERBICI/I AM WILMA – 4 units (win)
