RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: NIGHT FLIGHT (6) is third-up here. First-up, he was held up but ran home well into fourth at Melton behind Majaro Girl. Last start, he was OK but didn’t have the high speed to make up ground late. He does have good gate speed and could map well here. He should improve with fitness. AFRICAN GALA (9) is a nice horse when he gets things right. Two starts ago, he hit the line brilliantly to finish second, but last start he got it wrong with his manners. He needs to trot throughout here. MISS MUSCLE (11) ran a very brave fourth in the Group 1 Vicbred Super Series 2yo Trotting Fillies Final two starts ago. She got it wrong with her manners last start. She is an exciting prospect for the future, but she is only a two-year-old taking on the older horses here and will need to overcome a wide back-row barrier. AI SEDHAI (5) has good sectional times and is a good value first-four chance here if he gets some luck. Also respecting LIFE ON THE HILL (7) who was a winner last start but has a sticky barrier here.
