RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Small field, but intriguing race where LORD VERDE (6) must go on top despite the awkward gate. He won at Charlton and Stawell before copping plenty of pressure at Kilmore and boxed on well to run third. He then tackled a race at Shepparton on Sunday and made a sustained run in slick time from back in the field to just miss. There was a good margin back to third and he looks the horse in the best form here. Not quite sure who will lead this event, but PERCESSION (4) draws off the front for the first time since joining the Lisa Miles stable and can improve sharply if he finds the fence, BAKERS BANDIT (5) led and was only grabbed late at Terang last time out, while WHISKEYDRINKINGBILL (2) found significant traffic last time at Ballarat and was strong through the line. He wouldn’t shock. BACK: LORD VERDE (6) – 2.5 units (win)
