RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: TAPPY (2) returned from a break and started his three-year-old season in style with a last-to-first win at Kilmore last week that has set the platform for a good preparation. It was a really promising effort and I fancy he can score again here from the handy draw with James Herbertson in the bike. If it’s not TAPPY (2), then it’s a wide-open event. GOOD DAY (3) made a sustained run from last at Shepparton on February 17 and only dropped out late, and did run very well first-up on New Year’s Eve at Melton, KISS ME MINI (10) makes her debut for the Adam Kelly yard without a trial but brings solid form from New South Wales to the table, while RUMPELSTILTSKIN (6) ran well when sixth at Shepparton on March 3 in a slick last half. That had some merit in what was his first race for about a year. BACK: TAPPY (2) – 3 units (win)
