RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FREIGHT SHAKER (10) hasn’t raced in about a month after being badly dragged out of an event at Melton on August 22, and he’s actually had some excuses prior while not being beaten far by the smart Alrighty and Muskee. Before that, he was only 2.1m behind subsequent Group 1 winner Howdy Mate, and his form reads really well for a race like this. I think he will go close if the tempo is genuine. KYVALLEY MICHAEL (9) can be excused for last week’s effort when he never really got much luck out the back behind Sebastians Boy, but his effort when flashing home from the tail of the field before that was very good, KEAYANG GYPSY (3) hasn’t set the world on fire recently but does draw to press forward and perhaps find the top, while CENTURION DREAM (1) came from a mile back to win an easier race by a huge margin at Shepparton on September 15, and has the early speed and draw to settle in a prominent position on the fence. Plenty of others have a shout, including TIMMY TURTLE (8), who has trialled well for this assignment, KYVALLEY JETSTREAM (4), ARTIGAS (5) and SCAR (7). BACK: FREIGHT SHAKER (10) – 1 unit (each-way)
