RACE COMMENT
Here we have an up to 49 rated affair and it’s a tough one over the short trip. TALK IS CHEAP (2) resumes from a handy draw so if she brings something close to her best she will take holding out. FIVE STAR SHARK (5) will push forward and if happens to find the lead will take catching. LALIBELA (9), MACHS MARETA (10) and CINOCAL JAMANE (11) are a trio from outback who will be hoping they run along as they will get their chances late. MY MATE LUKE (1), TASHS MATE (6) and RANIERI (12) are another trio that can sneak a minor placing at odds.TOP PICK: Talk is Cheap (2) just leaning her way.DANGERS: Five Star Shark (5) is a danger along with Cinocal Jamane (11).ROUGHIE: Ranieri (12) sneaky chance at huge odds.RATINGS: 2-5 9 10 11-1 3 6 12-4 7 8EXOTIC BET: Boxed Trifecta 2 5 9 10 11 $30 flexi 50%LIKELY LEADER: Five Star Shark will look to cross early.
