RACE COMMENT
MY RUMOUR HAS IT (1) has won six races here at HQ with four of those when leading off the front tape. Those conditions present here and with her last three from the tapes coming off a mark, returning to the front tape here can be the catalyst for her to dictate. BENJI HALL (10) was buried and when the gap opened, hit the line strongly here last time out. Finishing just 2m from the winner, he will start from the same tape and if able to thread a passage through the traffic, he is up to challenging. ALDEBARAN FONZ (12) completed a hat-trick of victories last start when powering home over the latter stages to post a 2m margin. 30m and a full field to get around looks the hurdle. MAJESTIC SUNDAY (11) finally put it together last start and had the close out speed to arrive for victory. With over one month between appearances, if he can trot cleanly, he has claims.
