RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BRINGSUSJOY (2) was awfully unlucky last Friday at Melton when locking wheels at the start and then being held up to the line with lots left to give. She produced a cracking run in the Vicbred Silver Final in late November that sticks in my mind. I liked her last week and happy to go again from gate two here. PLATINUM JIVE (8) bolted in by a big margin last time out so will be very hard to deny in another suitable event, ALWAYS A SHOWGIRL (1) was actually fantastic on New Year’s Eve after making an unsuccessful mid-race move and still surging through the line to be beaten less than 8m, while FIANO (5) might find the front and prove hard to catch. BACK: BRINGSUSJOY (2) – 1 unit (win)
