RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: RAINBOW JESTER (1) is an outstanding New South Wales trained trotter that has won six of his seven starts to date, including the Nutrien Final by 34m at Melton in April. He is resuming since an emphatic victory at Group 2 level in July but he has won a trial recently at Goulburn so he should prove hard to beat. He isn’t the best to begin so barrier one might be a little tricky however. GATESYS GEM (3) has only been defeated once in five starts and that was in the Super Series Final, where there were several false starts and she became very stirred up. She recorded a slick mile rate of 1.57.5 at her latest victory so she must be rated highly. COMMODUS (8) sprinted very quickly to win the colts and geldings Super Series Final and has won two trials since. He is a very good colt and will take beating but he will be relying on RAINBOW JESTER (1) holding a forward position at the start. KEAYANG KURKI (2) won the fillies Super Series Final and is worth thought along with VYTIS (5). EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,2,4,5 RATINGS: 1/ 3,8/ 2,5/ 9
