Race comment
OVERVIEW: METRO MAN (6) does his best work in front. A winner of six races, five of those triumphs have been when setting the pace. He teams with Ryan Duffy, one of the best gate drivers in the state. I have little doubt if they wanted to, METRO MAN (6) could lead. But this horse has fooled me previously when I thought the front might be on offer. VILLAGE VOICE (8) is an underrated mare, whose three-win career record from 53 starts belies her recent form. Just two starts back she wasn’t far off in a Group 3 at Melton, and in October she ran a nice second behind ultra-talented Diamond Party. Look for her late. EL BANCO (1) will get his chance along the pegs, while WINGATE GUY (5) was a pinch unlucky last start at Bendigo and caught the eye late. He’s nearing another win. The chances don’t stop there either, with THE KNIGHT STAR (4) and MISSY DEYO (2) capable of winning without surprising. For MISSY DEYO (2), it is exactly 12 months to the day since her last win at Ballarat when Greg Sugars produced one of the steers of the year. Might Alford produce similar here?

Race comment
OVERVIEW: METRO MAN (6) does his best work in front. A winner of six races, five of those triumphs have been when setting the pace. He teams with Ryan Duffy, one of the best gate drivers in the state. I have little doubt if they wanted to, METRO MAN (6) could lead. But this horse has fooled me previously when I thought the front might be on offer. VILLAGE VOICE (8) is an underrated mare, whose three-win career record from 53 starts belies her recent form. Just two starts back she wasn’t far off in a Group 3 at Melton, and in October she ran a nice second behind ultra-talented Diamond Party. Look for her late. EL BANCO (1) will get his chance along the pegs, while WINGATE GUY (5) was a pinch unlucky last start at Bendigo and caught the eye late. He’s nearing another win. The chances don’t stop there either, with THE KNIGHT STAR (4) and MISSY DEYO (2) capable of winning without surprising. For MISSY DEYO (2), it is exactly 12 months to the day since her last win at Ballarat when Greg Sugars produced one of the steers of the year. Might Alford produce similar here?

Race comment
OVERVIEW: METRO MAN (6) does his best work in front. A winner of six races, five of those triumphs have been when setting the pace. He teams with Ryan Duffy, one of the best gate drivers in the state. I have little doubt if they wanted to, METRO MAN (6) could lead. But this horse has fooled me previously when I thought the front might be on offer. VILLAGE VOICE (8) is an underrated mare, whose three-win career record from 53 starts belies her recent form. Just two starts back she wasn’t far off in a Group 3 at Melton, and in October she ran a nice second behind ultra-talented Diamond Party. Look for her late. EL BANCO (1) will get his chance along the pegs, while WINGATE GUY (5) was a pinch unlucky last start at Bendigo and caught the eye late. He’s nearing another win. The chances don’t stop there either, with THE KNIGHT STAR (4) and MISSY DEYO (2) capable of winning without surprising. For MISSY DEYO (2), it is exactly 12 months to the day since her last win at Ballarat when Greg Sugars produced one of the steers of the year. Might Alford produce similar here?
