RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ACOOL INVESTMENT (9) appears to be extremely well graded in this event with the aid of a concession claim and should prove hard to beat. She won easily at Kilmore three starts ago and her latest effort was behind the smart trotter Bennie And The Jets at Metropolitan level. MANDA KYVALLEY (8) is a strong mare, which pushed forward to race without cover and proved to be too strong at Echuca last outing. She is awkwardly drawn but is racing too well to dismiss. WITH APLOMB (11) has broken stride at her past three attempts but she is a smart mare when she is able to put it altogether. She was a big winner at Shepparton on January 06. PROHIBITED GRACE (7) has had a few chances since winning the Breeders Crown back in November 2024 but her latest third was encouraging. BACK: ACOOL INVESTMENT (9) – 2 units (win)
