RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KEAYANG STUKA (6) was resuming since a third in the Inter Dominion Final in December when a handy finishing fifth at Melton last week. He will be fitter from that run and should run a much sharper race here. IMPERIAL MONARCH (7) has been placed in all of his three starts since resuming and should go well again. He worked into a distant third behind I’m Bobby in a sizzling mile rate of 1.54.8 at his latest performance. MUFASA METRO (8) should be reaching his peak form after having two starts back from a break. He led early, was overtaken by I’m Bobby at the bell and battled on well for second at his latest effort in fast time. He has been a terrific performer at the elite level over several seasons and should make his presence felt. SEBASTIANS BOY (3) sprinted quickly through the middle when he scored at Melton two starts ago. He finished off well again last week and is worth a ticket each way. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible early leader), 6,7 RATINGS: 6/ 7,8/ 3/ 2,5
