RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BILL (4) creates plenty of interest having his second run for the Pitt stable. He was well supported despite an awkward draw at Bendigo, and only really got clear late, finding the line well. He looks to have upside if he can take improvement from that run. ELCHEAPO CLAIRE (2) has been well beaten her past couple, but is worth respecting based on earlier form. She looks likely to get across to the pegs here. LOWER WEST SIDE (3) was unlucky on debut and then well supported last time when third. She didn’t have the best of luck there, though she may have been entitled to finish off a little better. HELLO POSSUMS (6) has been going well without winning but faces a tricky draw. BACK: BILL (4) – 3 units (win)
