RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Wide-open start to the night where I think THESTATESMAN (3) gets his chance to show us how he’s really going. He has seemingly been running okay from unsuitable positions in transit for some time, including last Saturday night when he settled near last and held his own in an on-pace dominated race. He draws to work forward and find the fence, and from there should run well. He’s by no means a moral, with a host of other winning chances. The talented ZENARIO (9) looks sure to fight out the finish from the nice back row alley, HITTHEROADJACK (6) is likely to be sent forward in a bid to find the front and is a one-paced horse who would be a big threat if he was able to control things at the top, while MITZI SAID (8) looks one that will bob up at odds in the near future when things pan out to suit. She’s been running home nicely of late and just needs the breaks to go her way. SEA FURY (11) can be forgiven for the first-up effort after getting caught parked there at Geelong, IMA TERMINATOR (4) and CAPTAIN PINS (10) are threats with the right trip and noting a small ownership share in TIMBIMBOO (5), who is first-up and will likely need the run. BACK: THESTATESMAN (3) – 1 unit (each-way)
