RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: APRIL SUN (6) gets the nod here in a trappy event for the trotters where there’s plenty of naughty behaviour to cloud our judgement. He finally trotted all the way last time out at Kilmore and ran a great race for second. He had a dip for the lead early, was forced to sit parked, hit the front along the back and was only run down by one in the last 100m or so. It was a top effort and something similar probably wins this. That said, JACKOFALLTRADES (1) trialled really well at Melton on March 10 and thrashed the handy Charlies Tactics there, so he is one to watch first-up from a break. He’s fast and might prove hard to catch if he tears along out in front. MONTY MONTE (5) hasn’t shown much for new trainer Andy Gath but could improve in the small field, while FLING IT RAINBOW (3) tries hard but does get tired late in his races and might be a place chance at best.
