RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SKYFALL BENCHMARK (2) was resuming since November 2022 when he battled on well for third behind ALIZA HILL (5). He performed extremely well at the trials prior and he should have derived a lot of benefit from his first up run so he must be respected. ALIZA HILL (5) began quickly and was able to lead throughout against similar opposition at her latest attempt. She has won five races for the season and is a good chance of finding the lead again so she looms as the horse to beat. BRONSKI MOMENT (9) is capable of sprinting to the line quickly with the right trail forward as evidenced by his latest victory over THE MAJORS GIRL (4). He has the perfect trailing draw and is worth thought again. MAJORS CREEK (8) will be fitter after her first up sixth and she was racing consistently during her last preparation so she is not without a chance. EARLY SPEED: 5 (likely leader), 3,7 RATINGS: 2,5/ 9/ 8/ 4,7/ 6
