RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SEA FURY (3) won his trial at Shepparton in preparation for this first-up assignment and returns following a string of placings to close his most recent campaign. He ran good races for second to nice types such as Odin, Hitch To His Star and Intrusion before a break, with his last win being in the Wangaratta Pacing Cup during March. There’s some speed to his outside here, but if he’s able to work forward and wrestle the front, he’d prove hard to run down. He doesn’t win out of turn, but I’m a big fan of GUNFORHIRE (9) and his last two starts have been fast-finishing runner-up placings. He’s very talented and can certainly prevail with the right trip, with the small field set to suit his run-on style. FERRIGNO (8) draws inside the back row and hasn’t been far away in recent starts, nor has RANGER RICK (4), who looks another of the gate speed runners off the front. He had a softer trip than GUNFORHIRE (9) last start at Terang, but was easily beaten home into third. KEAYANG PAYTON (5) and OH SWEET CREATURE (2) look next best.
