RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MOUNT BARKER BOY (10) has really hit peak form in recent months and carried it through the Vicbred Super Series for three-year-old colts and geldings where he reached the final. He was runner-up in the heats and semis, and galloped out of contention in the Group 1 decider. He strikes a very winnable assignment here, and while I’ve been a bit slow to warm to him, his recent form is undeniable. THESTATESMAN (1) was caught parked and dropped out in a race a few of these contested last Friday but draws for a much-improved run on the fence here where he should either lead or settle leader’s back, BIZZNESS CLASS (8) should trail through nicely behind him and will be dangerous late as he usually finishes off powerfully, as does MITZI SAID (6), who sizzled home from four back along the fence to place second last time out behind Hittheroadjack in fast time and just needs the right run in transit to be a threat here. Other chances land with quick beginner FOLLOWTHEACE (3), NEW YORKER (4) and Tassie visitor MCMAYHEM (9).
