RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: MICHEN ROY (11) is first up from a break with no trial, but looks very well suited with the concession claim, despite the draw and needing the right tempo. He can do it tough, or the expected mile rate here may even be able to overcome them with one run. His record this track and distance is positive. EAGLE MAJOR (3) finds a suitable race after racing up in class his past few runs. He was a winner here four runs back in a very similar line up where he was too strong coming off the pace. He can show reasonable gate speed, but there’s quicker ones of the gate inside and outside him so the map is crucial. TYPHOON (10) has only had the four starts but has managed two wins, on both occasions leading all the way. He must overcome the back row draw now but looks well in the mix with the concession. MUSSEL SHOALS (1) and MADAM REACTOR (4) look the most likely to fight out the early lead, and although they are both going ok that early burn may hurt. If either were to find the front and get a good time of it, their chances improve greatly.
