RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: JILLIBY DREAMLOVER (7) is surging through the grades and contests another very suitable event in the opener on Ballarat cup night. She has led and beaten a large portion of these horses in recent starts, and has the draw to work forward and control the race again here. She looks very progressive and goes on top. GOTFEELINGSYOUKNOW (8) ran a nice second to the aforementioned rival at Cranbourne on January 3, and has placings behind Im Bobby and Jilliby Ballerini in his recent form, so gets the nod for second. PINNIE (9) was unable to beat a runner home last time out but was in crowded room up the straight and her best is good, while MORE WANTED (6) has gate speed and can run a forward race from the pegs. BACK: JILLIBY DREAMLOVER (7) – 3 units (win)
