RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HOME AND DRY (9) performed below expectations when unplaced at Kilmore last week but his form prior was strong including successive victories at Ballarat and Melton. He follows out behind a fast beginner so he is worth another chance. LAVADA GOLD (12) sprinted quickly from midfield when a good winner over Pickle It at Geelong on Friday. This race is no harder and he should be finishing off swiftly again. SIR NIPPA (2) is a fast beginner and led throughout to defeat Divine Tilly (won since) at Ballarat two starts ago so he is worth an investment. TINSEL TIARA (5) boasts consistent form and has the early speed to be prominent throughout so she must be considered as a winning chance at her first run for trainer Ricky Ryan. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 5 RATINGS: 9,12/ 2/ 5/ 1,7
