RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: IM DUSTEE (9) got it wrong at the start last week and was most unlucky not to win, producing an excellent final half for this grade and making up many lengths to finish fourth. Despite drawing awkwardly again, he may fare better than last time with a more positive map. His last four runs suggest he's ready to win and this looks an ideal opportunity. WILL HE REIGN (2) was in the same race and has been very good at his past three starts, aided by being able to race prominently over the sprint trip. He looks the likely leader again and, with the extra distance, shapes as the testing material. LUVERBOY (1) hasn't enjoyed much luck with barrier draws but now comes up with the ace draw to secure a favourable run. He was a winner at this track when able to lead, albeit in easier company. BET ON ACES (4) has been consistent in easier grade than he meets here, but maps well and has place claims on recent form. BACK: IM DUSTEE (9) – 3.5 units (win)
