RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Another wide-open Group 1 final where you can make a case for quite a few. In saying that, I’m keen on PASTOR DUNBAR (10) who has proven himself as the top seed of his three-year-old crop with a Group 1 NSW Trotters Derby triumph among six wins from seven starts in 2026. He was a little unflattering winning his heat, but the arrogant Holmfield triumph from the death seat against six rivals that reoppose here made me a real believer. He can make his own luck and is the one to beat. Fellow heat victor HOWDY MATE (6) looks a key threat and there’s a chance he might be able to work to the top. He’s grown into himself in recent starts and I really like the way he’s going. Last season’s star two-year-old KEAYANG BAZLENKA (9) led up the running line and made good ground from a mile back for fourth in his heat behind HOWDY MATE (6). He strips fitter here and a different race shape brings him into play. MUNNY THE MUNSTER (7) was the other heat winner and is a nice type but the gate is awkward, while MISTER DEVEREAUX (13) led, handed up and took ground off PASTOR DUNBAR (10) last Friday and is really progressing nicely for Team Brosnan. One to consider at odds. BACK: PASTOR DUNBAR (10) – 2 units (win)
