RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Such is the brilliance of JILLIBY BALLERINI (11), she would very likely have started second favourite in the Group 1 Maori Mile had connections decided to head that way. But instead they target the Group 3 Bendigo Trotters Cup, where the five-year-old stablemate to Keayang Zahara looks close to a good thing. She warmed up for this with an easy win at Cranbourne last weekend and should overcome her 30m handicap without any issues. GOTFEELINGSYOUKNOW (6) is fancied to run second given his really strong recent form, good stand start manners and lack of a handicap, PINNIE (10) is classy but only gets a 10m advantage on JILLIBY BALLERINI (11), while MORE WANTED (7) heads a stack of chances for the minor end of the trifecta and First 4 placings.
