RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: This is the final of the GV Regional Trotters Cup, with horses qualifying from heats run at Cobram, Echuca and Shepparton. WITH APLOMB (13) has a difficult barrier to overcome, but she’s racing in super form for new trainer Steve Cleave and I loved her win to beat five rivals that reoppose in the lead-up at this track on January 6. She came with a three-wide run for the last lap to win softly on the line and she’s going well enough to do it again I fancy. ABBIE (9) won the first heat at Cobram and must be a serious danger, WALLIS (2) took the qualifier at Echuca thanks to a fast beginning to lead, while THE ITALIAN DREAM (4), HILLWINSOME (7) and I AM HARRO (11) can certainly figure. BACK: WITH APLOMB (13) – 2 units (win)
