OVERVIEW: BETTOR THAN MOST (8) is making his debut for trainer Alex Ashwood and has the perfect trailing draw behind the likely leader IM JOLLYGOOD (1) so he should go well. He was placed behind Silver Domino at Maryborough under similar conditions two starts ago. IM JOLLYGOOD (1) ran along at a genuine tempo and established a big lead when he won a trial at Bendigo last week. He is drawn to lead again so he is worth an investment. SKYZ ABOVE (3) is resuming since March 2023 but she won a Ballarat trial last week and is drawn to be prominent throughout. RIVER PATROL (10) began fast to find the lead and raced well clear at the end when he won at Charlton on Monday. He drops back to the second line now but is worth thought again.

He was placed behind Silver Domino at Maryborough under similar conditions two starts ago. IM JOLLYGOOD (1) ran along at a genuine tempo and established a big lead when he won a trial at Bendigo last week. He is drawn to lead again so he is worth an investment. SKYZ ABOVE (3) is resuming since March 2023 but she won a Ballarat trial last week and is drawn to be prominent throughout.
