RACE COMMENT
Here we have a 58-62 affair and polemarker AXE AND DEEZ (1) looks hard to beat from the pole as should be able to hold up early so will take catching. SPORTS WRACK (3) is looking to make it a winning hat-trick but this is tougher so will need to step up again. PUNTARNO STRIDE (7) has run some big races of late so despite the draw has to be kept safe. JEREMY WELLS (5) has been close up of late so with a good trip early can figure late. IDEN BLACK PRINCE (4) and BELIEVE IN FOREVER (8) are a couple to include for the wider exotic placings.TOP PICK: Puntarno Stride (7) will be value and can win.DANGERS: Axe and Deez (1) is the danger along with Sports Wrack (3).ROUGHIE: Jeremy Wells (5) is the best at odds.RATINGS: 7-1 3 5-4 8-2 6EXOTIC BET: Boxed trifecta 1 3 5 7 8 $30 flexi 50%LIKELY LEADER: Axe and Deez should do enough to hold up early.
