RACE COMMENT
Barriers have not been kind to TARGARYEN (1) at his past three starts. Chasing home behind FREE THINKER last week, the start prior the tempo was too strong for the chasers as DELE ROW closed it out in 53.4. Effective on the passing lane, he can arrive. RISK TAKER (8) was snookered and the tempo set by winner JAMAICIAN ROCK made it tough for anything to get out of the pack and chase. Sweeping home to score the start prior and complete a hat-trick of wins, the map should be in his favour to challenge. ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (3) has not had much in his favour in recent start. Snagged back to last here last week, he finds the right race to press forward. ART JESTER (4) grabbed the silver behind DELE ROW two starts back and last start the effort had merit. Positioning cheaply will be key. SELECTIONS: TARGARYEN (1), RISK TAKER (8), ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (3), ART JESTER (4) SUGGESTED BET: TARGARYEN (1) to win
