RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: TASTE IT (1) went amiss last start, but prior to that she was racing well when doing everything right. She should have enough gate speed to hold a forward position, where she is best suited, and finds a good race here to get back into the winner’s circle. LINE UP JACQUIE (12) is racing better than her form suggests. She is running good times but has an awkward barrier to contend with. SIR CANDY CLOUD (4) is second up for Malcolm Bull here in Victoria. He had no luck but hit the line well in his Victorian debut and will improve from that run. TEX GOES BANG (5) is a consistent performer who should be competitive in this field.
