RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SETTLE THE BILL (7) was successful at Kilmore on Thursday after she settled midfield on the markers, worked into the clear at the 500m and finished off swiftly. She is widely drawn but looms as one of the leading chances again. FRANKYTHEFRENCHMAN (5) is trotting in peak form and should prove hard to beat. He finished off boldly to get the prize over Atego Dawn on the first day of the Redwood Carnival and was working home okay before breaking stride in the home straight at Kilmore on Thursday. INSPIRE (4) has struck peak form and defeated a field of similar quality at Bendigo on October 15. He found the front and battled on strongly for third at Melton last outing so another forward showing is expected. SUZYS DREAM (10) finished quickly from off the speed when she scored at Shepparton last outing. She has a tough draw to overcome but she is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 3,7 RATINGS: 5,7/ 4/ 3,10/ 9
