RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Tricky race, but I’m siding with the first-up runner in BLUE MIKI (11). His last start was a solid effort despite being well beaten in the Vicbred Super Series Silver Final and I thought he was sound in a recent trial behind smart trotter Mercenary ahead of Friday’s assignment. His last victory was at Ballarat in late October when he worked hard early, found the front and powered clear in a 56.5 last half. Something like that would win this I fancy. SHIRALEE (2) might be able to get across to the fence here and that would give her a great chance. She was outclassed last time, but ran well in a couple of races for second prior. MIDNIGHT MOJO (6) is a super honest customer who hasn’t been far behind smart rivals Savon De Roche and Tappy in recent outings, while LIVELY RASCAL (9) heads the other winning chances from the nice trailing draw. BACK: BLUE MIKI (11) – 1.5 units (each-way)
