RACE COMMENT
A second division qualifier for those runners balloted from race 6. With the gate, SMOOTH OVERARM (1) can look to protect the inside, as he did from this same gate last start when fighting on to be 5m from RACING TIME. He gets his chance to capitalise from the gate. ROCK HAMMER (8) will be sweating on the one holding up and under that scenario, his chances would be increased. A winner two starts back, he was forced to grind it out for the bronze last start when sent to the chair from gate 7. He will be probing. BOLD MEDLEY JUJON (5) found conditions to suit here two starts back and made the most of some early speed to find the front and dictate. He is a podium player again here. ARKIN WICKED (7) receives no favours from this gate but has faced some tough alleys in his past five starts. Snagged off he arm last start before making late ground, he can chime in.
