RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Cracking 0-1 contest here where we see SISTER MOLLY (9) step out for her debut. She has won all three of her trials, including the most recent one at Terang since joining the powerhouse Lee stable. She thrashed Island Rubee there by 50m and looks a handy type. She has a great chance here, but I just love what I’m seeing from SHINELIKETHESUN (7). She broke and was off the charts running fourth two starts ago at Melton and then struggled to keep up early last time at Bendigo, but savaged the line in a race-fastest last half of 55.93 off the fence. She’s good and I’ll lean her way at probably better odds. CHARLIES TACTICS (4) was only grabbed late in a strong race at Melton last time and might find the front again here, while fellow fast beginner ALDEBARAN JAZMINE (5) led and beat home SHINELIKETHESUN (7) when second first-up at Bendigo last week. BACK: SHINELIKETHESUN (7) – 2 units (each-way)
