RACE COMMENT
  OVERVIEW: SHEZALOVER (5) was resuming since a sixth in the Homegrown Classic in December when she settled three back on the markers and finished off well for third behind Exalted Lady. She should be improved by the run and is worth thought against this field. RYMES (12) has a lot of ability but his manners constantly let him down. He has performed well at the trials since his latest fourth and he will prove hard to beat if he delivers a fool proof display. MANDA KYVALLEY (9) has had a run of poor barrier draws of late and is racing better than her form reads. She scored at Maryborough in February and she should be hitting the line strongly against this class. AGAINST THE BRIDLE (10) has won two of his past four starts and is strong enough to overcome the poor draw. He settled in the second half of the field when sixth behind Allwatfunjingles at Kilmore last outing and he should find this race to be easier.   EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 4,7 RATINGS: 5/ 9,12/ 10/ 2,4,8
