RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CHARLIE SEBASTIAN (7) has been very honest, being runner-up in 4 of 6 attempts and racing well at this track. He got a good run and bumped into a handy one last time and just couldn’t match those sectionals when 2nd, while his runs prior were good, often from tricky draws. No favours with his marble again, but I fancy this is one of his most winnable opportunities. TOMBEUR (5) creates interest as a first starter off a trial win in slow time recently, and that was his first outing in a year. He’s from one of the state’s best stables, so monitor any strong market support. MEGALODON (8) is a well-named son of the mare Classic Shark and has shown promise in two career outings, finishing 3rd on both occasions. He goes from better draws to the back row but can get an economical peg run here and get his chance late. SIR KITT (1) is a 2yo who struck a very strong bunch of his own age on debut and now takes on more experienced types. He has a soft draw, and these shouldn’t put down the sectionals he faced last time, so he is open to improvement. BACK: CHARLIE SEBASTIAN (7) – 1.5 units (win)
