RACE COMMENT

Yet to hit the board in four starts here at The Creek, TEN DA TOUCH (5) might just have found the right conditions to secure a breakthrough. Backing up from Saturday when midfield, he was forced to sit parked in that contest as XPRESS PARTY was able to grip on. This is within reach. CONGO LINE (7) eased from gate 4 last time out in a much stronger Saturday night contest and with a solid tempo up front, had the speed to descend on them and take a half-neck margin. Runner-up to the airborne ELLIS STREET the start prior, tempo will be his friend. OUR SUNSET DELIGHT (8) made an error when the field was released from the tapes last start, ending his chances. A beaten fav two starts back, he has the second line options here. HELL IM SMOOTH (1) has the mapping favours from this gate and will appreciate a return to the front after facing second line barriers at his past two. A winner three back, he is a place hope.After two runs back from a spell for the new barn, LUKA DONCIC (9) finds the right conditions to secure a breakthrough. Faced with gate 12 last start at 2138 when too far back and buried, the first up effort saw him 3m from the winner after being shuffled back. He can cash in. ROYAL PRINCESS (2) sat in the trail last start and when the run presented, darted through on the passing lane to take victory. Fading after setting the speed at 2138 the start prior, she has the early hustle to settle handy and throw down the challenge. CANDYKANE (5) started from the second line here last time out and with the 1x1 trail, loomed at the right time and pulled clear in posting a 5m margin, She can feature again in this line up, THERESACHANCE (1) tried to take them all the way here two starts back but was collared in the closing strides by ROYAL PRINCESS. Not suited last start, he can be a factor here.
