RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: WITH APLOMB (7) has returned from Queensland in peak form and appears to be one of the leading chances again. She dominated her rivals at the end when she defeated PIESRIDINGSHOTGUN (4) at Bendigo last outing. JUST ABIT DUSTY (5) is resuming since September and joins trainer Alison Alford. He was impressive at the trials at Melton recently and won a trial at Bacchus Marsh on Saturday. He has a lot of ability when he is able to put it altogether so he must be kept safe. TE AMO (6) broke stride twice in succession prior to a close second behind Hillwinsome at Cranbourne, where he was held up behind the tiring leader on the home turn but finished off well. He is a winning chance if he puts in a fool proof display. PIESRIDINGSHOTGUN (4) is a fast beginner and appears to be the likely leader. He had his chance after leading behind WITH APLOMB (7) last outing but his overall form is sound. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 3,5 RATINGS: 5,7/ 6/ 4/ 10/ 9,11
