RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Wide-open event with a stack of differing formlines to try and dissect, so not much would really surprise. FRANCO NOVELIST (13) was first-up for around a year when he dropped out to last on NYE, but has since run very nicely at the Bendigo trials in a slick last half. He’s always shown good ability and is clearly the leading horse on NR here, so I’ll trust that trainer Luke Bryant has him right to go second-up. BIG BAD OSSIE (12) produced a great finale for second first-up in the Cobram Pacing Cup, HERAKLES (10) had a flat tyre there but his prior form is sound, while CLARENDEN EXPRESS (8) is new to the Adam Stephens yard and I liked his effort at Cranbourne when third to Cee Cee Lou. I think a win is near. BACK: FRANCO NOVELIST (13) – 1 unit (each-way)
