RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: ANOTHER PUDDIN (1) performed extremely well at the trials prior to a sixth at Bendigo ($2-30 fav) when resuming. He is ideally drawn and has more ability than he has shown at his two starts to date so he must be given another chance. ROWDY CHRISTIAN (4) is a former New South Wales trained pacer, which joins trainer Rebecca Bartley. He produced a tidy performance when third behind Nomorelying at a Shepparton trial in August and has the ability to figure in the finish. LEONARD (9) didn’t have much luck when fourth at Bendigo last outing and has claims from his trailing draw. TREACHEROUS JEWEL (3) and ONTHEDARKSIDE (5) are both capable of showing up without surprising. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 3 RATINGS: 1,4/ 9/ 3,5/ 2
