RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: A faultless trotting display should see METRO SWISH (3) break through for a long-awaited victory. She led and was run down at Maryborough two starts back and looked in a good position when finding the front at Ballarat last Thursday, but threw away her chances with a gallop down the back straight. She did a great job to pick herself up and finish fourth, albeit 31.6m off the winner. This appears a very suitable event and I fancy she can win. MILLY METER (2) had the speed to cross METRO SWISH (3) when they last clashed and might make things difficult for the top pick if she leads, I thought CALABASAS (6) showed enough at the trials recently to figure, while HEAR ME MAJOR TOM (7) won a Bacchus Marsh hit-out and started well in the market on debut at Birchip last weekend before ruining his chances with an early gallop. BACK: METRO SWISH (3) – 2.5 units (win)
