RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CARDIGAN SNIPER (3) looks set to run a short-priced elect after a great start to his career which has included feature wins in the rich APG final and Youthful Stakes last time out at Melton. There, he was able to work to the front and win despite some wayward manners. You’d anticipate that he finds the top again, and from there he’s the horse to beat. LAKE COMO (4) chased him home for third in the Youthful Stakes in what was a brave effort off the pegs and his debut win from three back the fence at Maryborough was brilliant. He’s a nice type and key danger, as is CARDIGAN SNIPER’S (3) stablemate AUSTON (7), who won by panels on debut at Hobart before being run down late at Launceston. A big watch first-up in Victoria. STERLING GIGI (1) broke his maiden in good style last week at Kilmore following a nice second to the smart Kings Gallery and he can figure from the good draw.
