RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PICKLE IT (1) performs best when he is able to lead over the sprint distance and attempted to lead throughout when second at Geelong last week. He is drawn to lead again in this evenly balanced field so he can go one better. BEST BACK BRUCE (11) worked hard early then gained a trail and had no clear run at a finish when an unlucky eighth at Geelong last outing. He won at Cranbourne prior and this race is no harder. OUR TRUE COLOURS (10) was caught wide early before progressing forward to park without cover at the 1100m when a creditable third at Bendigo last week. She is racing well and is worth a ticket each way. MUSELET (2) struck trouble at Geelong last outing and lost all chance. His form prior was sound so he is worth thought along with REALLY SMARTIE (6) and LOLLIPOP (7). EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 4,5,7 RATINGS: 1,11/ 10/ 2/ 6,7/ FIELD
