RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: It is a tough race to assess with a few of the leading chances having gait issues. ABBIE (4) beat an easier field at Cobram but she was impressive after making a mid-race move. She is generally fool proof so she gets the nod. BUSLIN BRODY (7) should prove hard to beat if he does everything right. He was a strong winner at Bendigo on November 26 and his latest fourth was behind Bennie And The Jets, which has won the Cobram Cup since. SEBASTIANS WAITING (8) has a very awkward trailing draw but he is a progressive trotter, which should continue to improve with experience. He trailed the leader and finished off best to win comfortably in easier grade last outing. ROMANTIC NINA (5) can do a bit wrong in her races but she has a lot of ability when she can put it altogether and should be finishing off strongly if she delivers a fool proof display. CENTURION DREAM (1) can improve from the pole position and KYVALLEY JETSTREAM (6) is racing well enough to figure in the finish. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 3,6,7 RATINGS: 4,7/ 8/ 1,5,6/ 11
