RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: It is a very open race with many winning chances. FLAME BLASTER (1) is perfectly drawn to suit his racing pattern and won from behind the leader at Mildura on August 21 so he is worth an investment. POTTSY THE GURU (2) hasn’t raced since August 2025 but he put together three straight victories at the end of his last preparation and he wasn’t beaten by far at the trials on Wednesday. He should go well from his good draw. CARLISLE CRUISER (8) was shuffled back on the markers after commencing from the inside of the second line and ran home fairly well for fourth behind Calf Pen last outing. He is worth a ticket each way from his trailing draw. SHES POPPY (11) pushed forward to find the lead from a wide draw and won comfortably on Wednesday. She does perform best when she is close to the speed and being drawn on the second line is a disadvantage but she won well enough last week to warrant respect.
