RACE COMMENT
ZEALOUS SPUR (8) had very little luck over the heats and final of the Inter Dominion recently when drawing poorly and being held up a number of times. He has proven he is one of the very top trotters in QLD this time in when progressing through the grades as an older horse before taking on that Inter Dominion series. He faces a handicap this time stepping back to the stand start but he is generally a reliable beginner and should settle up close enough in the run. Should be hard to hold out again.  LOVE GUN (9) impressed in the first round of Inter Dominion heats when running into the placings there behind Parisian Artiste. Faced the breeze last start in the final over the 3100m journey and battled on well for fifth in that race. With a safe get away should be hard to beat. VAN SANK (5) ran a good third two starts ago behind Izarra in the Redcliffe Cup from the stand start. He then took on another stand start last time out and was third again by McGee. He likes the stand starts and should be in the money again. SHEZA CHANCE (2) was a good placing last start behind QLDs best trotter in Gus. She gets a key handicap advantage in this race and with a safe getaway could be hard to catch.
