RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: The big, bustling FIGHTER COMMAND (3) was arrogant when beating six rivals that reoppose here at Melton on August 22, and he’s the deserved favourite as he works towards a tilt at the Victoria Cup. He was first-up from a Queensland campaign that netted an Inter Dominion heat win and overcame a wide back row draw to win drawing away by 9.1m. It was a decisive triumph at free-for-all grade and he looks to be right at the top of his game. Good luck holding him out. BULLETPROOF BOY (10) was very good from the tail of the field in that same race but was then beaten as a short-priced favourite last time out when he found the front. He was a touch disappointing there, but he did fight back to run second despite looking in big strife at the corner. He’s an established star and will be rattling late over his favourite trip. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (11) smoked home from three back the fence when a first-up third behind BULLETPROOF BOY (10) and long-odds winner TRIPLE EIGHT (6) there and should get a nice trail into this, while SMOKEN ACE (1) is favoured over a host of others for fourth spot given his good barrier draw. BACK: FIGHTER COMMAND (3) – 4 units (win)
