RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Looks speed aplenty here to start the metropolitan meeting at Bendigo, where we see a quality field of trotters over the 1650m trip. While it’s not certain, EL RESAMO (3) looks the most likely early leader, but he will probably cop some pressure given so many fast beginners around him. He was great sitting parked when third in the Terang Trotters Cup last time out and should run well if he finds the top, but I’m gravitating towards the back row runners. LOVEMETO (10) worked forward and found the front last start at Melton, then powered clear to beat five rivals that reoppose here. He is going really well and I’ll side with him given the likely hot tempo. Reigning Victorian 3YO Trotting Filly of the Year TRACY THE JET (9) is back following a New Zealand campaign that reaped victory in The Ascent slot race during November and she looks one of the country’s more exciting trotters, GOTFEELINGSYOUKNOW (5) broke through for a much-deserved victory at Menangle last weekend and is right in this, while most others wouldn’t surprise, including the first-up KEAYANG STUKA (4) and REMUS PHOENIX (7), who is flying but has a bad gate. BACK: LOVEMETO (10) – 1.5 units (each-way)
