RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SINBAD SASSY (2) resumes from a spell and showed good promise last campaign and from a favourable draw expect a forward showing. KEAYANG PAYTON (9) wasn’t far away last start having won her first two starts and can follow through nicely here and is one of the chances. VILLAROCK (3) should appreciate a front row draw and despite being unplaced last start can settle in a prominent position and expect a good showing. LOVE A BELLE (10) racing with great zest and though facing a tough draw she will be running on late. COOPER CLEAVER (11) capable pacer resuming and does have ability. Can run well fresh and don’t dismiss. NETRA (4) has been in the wilderness not having won since July 2024. Glimpses in recent starts that she is getting back into form and only if she can produce her best, she could be winning this. Don’t leave out! EARLY SPEED: 2,3 RATINGS: 2/ 9/ 3/ 10/ 11/ 4
