RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BETTORSWEETVICTORY (5) is on the back-up from Tuesday night where she drew awkwardly off the back row, working to the line well late. She did fail as a favourite prior; however, she draws to map well here in what appears a suitable race. TELL A TALL STORY (2) gets its third stable change in as many starts but was better last time when able to lead and hung tough after coping with pressure. SKADI (6) came through that same race at Boort and worked hard but may be forced to do so again. DOT BALL (7) found her race to win last start; this presents as a more difficult challenge from the draw. BACK: BETTORSWEETVICTORY (5) – 1 unit (win)
