RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: WILD BULL (4) is a talented but quirky pacer, who produced an incredible run at Hamilton last weekend when third to the very smart Metro Assassin. He sat three wide for the trip until being inconvenienced back to last at the corner, then charged late to finish just 1.3m behind the winner. He smashed the track record at Swan Hill back in late October and I fancy his best is good enough to take a race like this. Plenty of winning hopes, though, with CAN BE A RUEBE (10) dropping back from the Vicbred series and a solid third to Platinum Jive last time out and CARRRAMAR TITMUS (6) fronting up from a Melton flop after having strong winning form prior. MONTANA PRIDE (1) has been going super in easier races and gets the nice pole draw, while MY LITTLE BO (8) and RUBY WINGATE (9) also have strong claims.
