RACE 8

COMEANDSEE (2) is undefeated in three starts so far all in her home state of Victoria. She led last start at Ballarat showing good gate speed and was able to dash home a slick 26.7 quarter to score an easy victory over Baystyle. She draws to advantage over a number of her key rivals in this race and looks likely to be able to roll to the top early and should be very hard to run down again. She is trained by the powerful Emma Stewart stable who have had more success than any other stable in the last decade in juvenile feature races. 

CARDIGAN JEM (1) ran on strongly last time out when finishing second to SMACK BANG BART who was able to lead in that race. He showed good gate speed three starts ago to lead at Bendigo which suggests he should be able to lead in the early stages of this race before having options. He looks likely to get the perfect run and should be very dangerous late. 

KAHULA (3) looks another smart young horse for the stable of Emma Stewart. She was able to score a dominant win in the Final of the Nutrien Sales Classic series at Wagga after racing off the pegs when beating Decoupage. She draws a touch awkwardly in this race outside of her stablemates. She made a break in her latest race start when drawn gate 1 at Ballarat and has since trialled twice to get back into the draw. She may not be driven aggressively early off the gate but should still settle close enough in the run. 

SMACK BANG BART (10) has been excellent in two career starts winning both starts and rating good time on both occasions. His first career start he was set a big task sitting outside the leader in a strong field and proving too good for CARDIGAN JEM in that race which was a heat of the Nutrien series for 2YO Colts and Geldings. The draw appears to make things tough for him on paper but he has shown he is capable of working in the run and rating good time. 

SELECTIONS: COMEANDSEE (2), CARDIGAN JEM (1), KAHULA (3), SMACK BANG BART (10)
