RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Not sure about the map in this clash, but I fancy ZANDA MAN (5) as a horse and think he has a bright future. He was caught parked in a strong race at Geelong last Friday but battled away to only be beaten 8.4m and I thought his first-up effort in a Vicbred heat from off the fence was good. He finished last campaign with a string of nice efforts, including a couple of Saturday night wins at Melton. Happy his way. BANJO STAR (9) raced roughly in his Vicbred heat, but his form over in Tasmania – including two wins and a tough second – is sound and he looks a promising type for Michael Breen, BINALONG MATE (1) sat parked for the last lap before only narrowly going down at Cranbourne on September 6 and has shown some good signs this preparation, while WARZONE (2) might have the speed to cross to the fence and from there would be a chance. He didn’t have much luck last time at Cranbourne when settling last, but his run before that was good and he won well leading at Ballarat on August 19. Other key runners include Sunday’s maiden winner KING BALDWIN (3), SOHO WASHINGTON (4) and HILLTONS SPIRIT (10).
