RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KIMCHI (4) has found the front and been narrowly beaten into second at his last two starts. He is racing well, and with the scratching of YANKEE RAIN (2), he is more likely to map positively here. REGAL ROCK (6) was very impressive last start. He raced tough, applying pressure in the breeze before racing clear to win by more than 10 metres. He can make his own luck. WINGATE GUY (10) has been great at his last two starts, using his good speed to flash home strongly for a win and a second. He seems to be racing back to his best, but the tricky barrier is a concern over the short trip. From the barrier, MALANI JOH (1) looks to map well and can’t be left out of the exotics.
