RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Plenty hinges on the start here in my opinion, and if HITTHEROADJACK (1) can burrow through and do enough to lead, then he has a great chance in the first on Cup night. He’s a one-paced horse who lacks push-button speed, but he was able to work to the top last Friday at Melton and they couldn’t get near him as he carved out good sections in the run home to score by a big margin at good odds. He will be hard to run down over 1609m if he gets things his own way. MISS ARI (9) is a very classy mare who just missed Group 1 glory last time out when a narrow second to star rival The Art Of Success in the Vicbred Super Series final and she looms as a key danger from the nice back row draw, MY UNCLE STAN (3) led, handed up and just missed ROYAL APPOINTMENT (8) last weekend but is flying and might be the horse that tries to cross HITTHEROADJACK (1), while CLYMENUS (4) had no chance in that same race from out the back but he’s knocking on the door and looks ready to win. Another to consider is BLAKE BOLAC (5), who dead-heated first-up at Geelong with MY UNCLE STAN (3).
