RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LETSGO BIG GIRL (4) was able to lead throughout to win comfortably on Tuesday and looks a near certainty to lead again so therefore she is going to be extremely hard to catch. She almost won when leading at Birchip three back but found only Im Shadow Boxer narrowly too good who has been a metropolitan performer for several seasons, so she is clearly the one to beat. CENTOFELLIE (1) maps to be leaders back so she will receive every chance. ALWAYS A SHOWMAN (12) has a huge task from his draw but couldn’t have done much more on Tuesday whilst SPIRIT OF SAHARA (9) had her chance on Tuesday but must be given a chance. EARLY SPEED: 1? 3? 4 (Leader), 5? 6 RATINGS: 4 / 1 / 12 / 9 / 8 / 6 / 10 / 11 / 7 / 3 / 2 / 5
