RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: RUN FOREST RUN (4) is a very quick beginner from the standing start and should give a forward showing. He tried to sustain a long run from the 700m, hit the front turning out of the back straight and battled on well for second behind Kyvalley Judge last outing and he did lead throughout in record time from the standing start at Birchip on March 08. DISTANT SUN (3) settled in a rearward position and was very wide on the home turn when a handy finishing second behind Bennie And The Jets at Melton on Saturday night. He has only performed once from the standing start previously and that effort was in Sydney but he is a winning chance if he steps away cleanly. IM ABOVE THE LAW (2) commenced from the tough handicap of 40m and was driven aggressively when a handy third at Stawell last outing. This race is harder but he performs best when he is able to lead and he moves to the front line so he is worth thought. WALLIS (5) finished off best to win from the standing start two starts ago and is worth a ticket each way. SEBASTIANS BOY (9) is clearly the class runner of the field but his manners have been an issue and he galloped away at his only standing start performance to date, which was way back in April 2022!
