RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ALDEBARAN BROOKE (8) has been in the market at her past two starts and is having her first attempt at the stand conditions. Must be respected.   MEADOW VALLEY STAR (7) resumes here and joins the astute Brent Lilley stable and expect a strong showing first up. BENNIE AND THE JETS (1) is proving a challenging to trotter to catch on his best day. He does possess the natural talent to win this but needs to trot throughout. Take on trust. WINNIES DREAM (4) is a very capable mare when at her best and looks suited here. One of the chances. JAKARTA (6) normally races well from the stand conditions and is very capable. Not out of this. MIELICKI (3) seasoned campaigner that is always a chance with a suitable trip. SALSKI (2) can improve her figure form here. Don’t dismiss. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3,4 RATINGS: 8/ 7/ 1/ 4/ 6/ 3/ 2
