RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: This is the final of the GV Regional Pacing Cup, with horses qualifying across five heats run at Cobram, Echuca and Shepparton. Very tricky race to assess, but happy to have the speedy SKYFALL BENCHMARK (4) on top. He was first-up when winning his qualifier at Cobram, and he did so in fast time. He might be able to power to the top and prove too slick over the sprint trip again. I OF THE HURRIKANE (9) is in great form for Carson Millar and nailed LEONARD (1) in the shadows of the post to win his heat at Shepparton, while MY LADY SARAH (7) is two for two this campaign and sat parked to claim another of the Shepp qualifiers. The chances don’t stop there and a field ticket in the Quaddie might not be the silliest idea.
