RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: POPPY POPSTAR (7) won over Boutika (won since in track record time) on August 03 and has won five races for the season. She has been a little below her best form at her past three attempts but she strikes a suitable assignment now so she should go well. SONARMI JOH (9) is a fast beginner from the standing start and is racing consistently. He was runner up behind Boutika in record time at Ararat two starts ago then wasn’t beaten by far at his latest Terang fifth. WHOSHOTTHEPIEMAN (8) was poorly away and lost all chance at his only standing start attempt but he was very impressive at his latest Swan Hill victory, where he led throughout. He won well enough last time to suggest he will prove hard to beat if he is able to get away safely. ITGETSBETTER (4) was runner up after trailing the leader under similar conditions at Terang two starts ago then it appeared as though he would run second again but he broke stride with 100m remaining at his latest fifth. His main rivals are all commencing from bigger handicaps so he must be respected.
