RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ALCATRAZ GIRL (4) doesn’t bring strong numerical form, but her chances improve from what looks to be a nice map for her to roll forward and look for the top. She was a winner at this track and distance back in June when she found the lead and ran good time. Everything points to a form spike here based on those indicators, and she may represent value. WHERES WOOD WOOD (8) is just about racing in career-best form as a 9yo, winning 5 of her 15 races this season and placing another 8 times from 26 starts. She’s an exponent of the ratings system and often runs her best races when she drops back to this grade, looking well placed with the concessions, including that of Tasmyn Potter, who enjoys a good strike rate on her. KRAKEY (9) hasn’t won this season but is still racing okay. She was forced to do it tough outside the speed last week and looks to be an improver in this type of race. OLLY ODD POTTS (2) can be a little hard to catch, but she tends to run her best races in this class when she doesn’t do much work early and can come with one run. She must be kept safe. JOEYS HANGOVER (5) was a winner here last week when given every possible hope from a more favourable draw. Winning form is good form, however, so despite needing luck, he deserves to be considered again. BACK: ALCATRAZ GIRL (4) – 1 unit (win)
