RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CIGANO (12) has only suffered defeat once in five starts for the season and that effort was in the Nutrien Classic Final. He was a very impressive winner in a mile rate of 1.54.7 at Melton last outing and should take beating again. ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (10) settled last on the markers from an awkward draw and had no room over the latter stages so he had excuses at his latest seventh. He recorded a sizzling mile rate of 1.52.8 when he scored at Melton prior so he looms as one of the leading chances again. MONA MIA (1) is a classy mare, which appears to be suited against this line up and is drawn to receive every chance. JACCKA CONNOR (7) is poorly drawn but he finished brilliantly from three back on the markers when a close fourth (1/2 neck) behind Operative Line last week so he is not without a chance. EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 5,6 RATINGS: 12/ 10/ 1,7/ 5,6/ 3,4,8/ 9
