RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FARROKH (10) is flying at the moment for Chris Lang and Sonia Mahar, with an eye-catching third in stronger grade than this last weekend behind Ijustcalledtosay and another great effort from last for fifth behind SKY FLAIR (8) back on August 1. He beat a few of these rivals when he last won at Kilmore and I fancy he’s the testing material once again. SKY FLAIR (8) has been brilliant this campaign and made it back-to-back victories when she sprinted over the top from the running line to score on August 15, DISTANT SUN (3) was a touch disappointing last start when fancied behind Kyvalley Michael but the two runs prior were very good efforts at Kilmore, and CENTURION DREAM (2) can improve on last weekend’s effort where she was clearly outclassed and should be able to cross the honest SAMMY HALLER (1), who is some chance along with a few others like KARBINE (6) and ALDEBARAN SUE (11). BACK: FARROKH (10) – 1 unit (each-way)
