RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: JILLIBY ILLUMINATE (5) is resuming since an eleventh in the Victoria Oaks back in October but she beat a strong field in a Terang trial victory last week so she must be respected. OUR SAYDIE KAY (2) led out then took cover and tried hard when second in a sizzling mile rate of 1.52.4 at Melton last week. She is drawn to receive a similar economical run so she looms as one of the leading chances. ALL BLAZING GUNS (3) was resuming since October when fifth behind Odin on April 05. He is a speedy pacer and should be fitter after his first up run so he is worth an investment. UBETTA KNOT (4) has returned from a break in consistent form and ran a brave second behind the smart filly Let Her Roll last week so she is not without a chance. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely early leader), 3,4,7 RATINGS: 5/ 2/ 3,4/ 7,10/ 8,9
