RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: CARDIGAN DAN (3) is a first starter for trainer Emma Stewart, which dashed home in a sizzling final quarter of 27.2 seconds to win a trial at Melton. He obviously has ability and should go well on debut. YOU GOTTA BELIEVE (6) has the advantage of race experience and comfortably won a heat of the Bathurst Gold Crown on March 21. He drew poorly and settled in the second half of the field before finishing fast when a creditable fifth in the Final so he must be rated highly. BROOKLYN DAN (4) was able to win a trial at Geelong last week so he must be kept safe. LETSSTARTINHEAVEN (1) won his last trial at Gawler in fast time and is ideally drawn. SIARGO ISLAND (5) charged home from last when third in a Consolation of the Bathurst Gold Crown and is a place chance again. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,4,6 RATINGS: 3/ 4,6/ 1/ 5/ 2
