RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Super field assembled here for the McNamara Memorial Geelong Trotters Cup where there’s a host of winning chances. GOTFEELINGSYOUKNOW (6) hasn’t prevailed since the middle of last year, but he’s racing in great form and I’m leaning his way from the 10m handicap. He ran a cracking race for fourth from last in a heat of the Great Southern Star behind Keayang Zahara, and before that beat home plenty of handy rivals when fourth in the Kilmore Trotters Cup behind Jilliby Ballerini. A safe trotting display should see him driven aggressively and hard to beat. IMPERIAL MONARCH (8) ran well through the Great Southern Star series – reaching the final – and comes through a fourth placing in the Group 1 Just Believe Grand Prix. TWEEDLEDEE (4) has been battling the big guns for some time now and will be long odds, but a clean getaway could see him run a cheeky race from his front mark, while recent Ararat Trotters Cup champion MORE WANTED (7) and ALDEBARAN ACRUX (9) head the other chances.
