RACE COMMENT
MAJOR HOT (3) was left without cover last start over the 2138 at Albion Park battling on well there for third behind Lux Aeterna and Rocket City who he repossesses this time from a more favourable draw. He has good early speed and will likely look for the front early. If he can find the lead he looks clearly hardest to beat. ATTACHMENT (5) lost the QLD Sun race on protest after shifting into the sprint lane up the home straight inconveniencing Call To Order and losing the race as a result five starts ago. That effort itself was terrific after burning off the gate early to find the top. He wasn’t suited last start when getting a long way back in a race that was run to suit the pegs taken out by The Janitor. He has high speed and despite the wider gate he should be right in the finish again. ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (1) has good early speed and is generally a horse that does his best work on the pegs. He ran second behind Our Goat two starts ago when running on late from a midfield position off the pegs. He should secure an economical run in this race from the good draw and can be in the money again. ROCKET CITY (8) should get a good run through on the back of a gate speed horse in Rocks Or Diamonds. He led last start and was beaten by Lux Aeterna who had a good trip 1-1. He is a horse with high speed and looks well suited in this race starting from soft draw.
