RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BREATHE EASY (5) delivered a career best performance at his first run for trainer Basil Dooley, where he used energy at various stages to hold and regain the lead and was too strong at the finish in a mile rate of 1.56.4. This race is of similar standard and he should prove hard to beat again. NORMANS GIRL (3) is an experienced maiden having had 25 attempts but she only missed out by a narrow margin last time out so she is getting closer to the money. SPEEDY HEALEY (9) hasn’t had the best of luck recently and is better than his form reads. He gains a trailing draw behind a fast beginner in SASSCILIAN (2) so he gets his chance to give a better showing. THE MAJORS GIRL (1) performed below expectations when a distant ninth at Cobram on Sunday but she was runner up at her two attempts prior and is much better drawn so she is worth another chance. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 2,3,4 RATINGS: 5/ 3,9/ 1,2/ 4,8
