RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: WALKIN UNDERSTARZ (1) is a first starter for trainer John Tormey, which finished second at her latest Bendigo trial performance. She is out of the former handy mare Front and Square and is closely related to Majestic Grace and Jackson Square so she must be respected. AMARTEY (8) attempted to lead throughout and copped plenty of pressure when a distant second behind Mecarno in a mile of 1.58.2 at Geelong. He is backing up quickly from his effort at Melton on Friday night but he should prove hard to beat. MONEY TALKS (4) has been placed at his past two attempts against similar opposition and should go well again. He dropped out to a rearward position in the early stages and worked home well at his latest third behind Bruiser Alm at Bendigo. JETAWAY SAINT (6) has shown improvement at his past two attempts and rate as a value hope. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 2,5 RATINGS: 1,8/ 4/ 6/ 3,7
