RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LE BELLE BIJOUX (1) had no luck after commencing from the outside of the front row last week. She ran a game second behind Diamond Eclipse prior and she should run her usual honest race from the pole position. WINGS ON THE LINE (2) produced a strong performance to finish second behind Surfingmakescents when making her debut for trainer Emma Stewart. She is much better drawn for this assignment and is sure to attract plenty of support. ARGGGHHH (4) left a trailing position to race without cover and battled on well for fourth behind Some American at Melton last week. He is an underrated pacer, which rates as a value chance. KOSIMO (6) is capable of sprinting to the line quickly with the right trail forward and was able to win at his last attempt when performing outside of the Metropolitan FFA class so he cannot be underestimated. JUSTALITTLESIP (3) is racing well enough to warrant consideration. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 4,7 RATINGS: 1,2/ 3,4,6/ 5,7/ 8
