RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Good race to close the card where I think THESTATESMAN (4) can run well second-up from a break. On resumption last weekend, he hit the line hard from three back the pegs in an encouraging effort and I fancy Josh Duggan might look for the top here. His last win was in the same grade of race as this when he led, dictated and bolted in back in September. The key danger is ZENARIO (9), who is a very talented type from the McNaulty stable. He produced a cracker for fourth in the hot Vicbred Super Series final before an unlucky run in the Southern Cross Series decider at Globe Derby before a break. KOMODO (7) claimed a deserved victory last time at Melton after a string of good efforts, while opportunist KOSIMO (1) gets a nice draw and will be hitting the line late. Noting a small ownership share in TIMBIMBOO (8), but he looks up against it here. BACK: THESTATESMAN (4) – 1 unit (each-way) For all your harness form in one place go to goodform.thetrots.com.au  ** A betting unit is typically a percentage of the total bankroll or the amount of money you are willing to risk on a particular bet – for example 1 unit is 10% of your bankroll, therefore a $100 bankroll 1 unit equals $10 Chances are you’re about to lose. For free and confidential support call 1800 858 858 or visit The odds quoted on the fields page are a Goodform computer generated price based on a range of key form factors and are not necessarily the odds that may be offered by a licenced bookmaker.
