RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: We got a good look at these horses in the sole heat of the Lyn McPherson Bronze series at Bendigo last week, with all 11 starters coming through that event. And while SKY LINDY (5) was a very impressive winner from the chair, there was a stunning performance from LITTLE MISS MORGAN (10) that must have her as the one to beat in the final. Juanita Breen’s exciting mare came from last with an incredible 55.9sec last half while wide on the track to miss by 2.2m. It was close to a second quicker than any other runner in the race and she just needs to be a shade closer this time to be rounding her rivals up. She’s lightly raced and a real talent. SKY LINDY (5) is the obvious danger after her all-honours heat win where she sat parked throughout, surged clear at the corner and held on to score. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT (8) had the second best last half in the heat while coming wide on the track and looks to get a great trip in behind likely leader CHRISTMAS BABE (1), while SUZYS DREAM (2), BLACK AND GOLD (3) and MANDA KYVALLEY (4) – who galloped in the qualifier - are musts for wider exotics. BACK: LITTLE MISS MORGAN (10) – 3 units (win)
