RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Newly-crowned Victorian 2YO Pacing Filly of the Year ARRHYTHMIA (1) returns here and she might be able to start her campaign with victory from the good draw. She has had a couple of nice enough trials ahead of this assignment – including a narrow defeat by champion trotter Keayang Zahara at Terang – and if she can hold out the challengers early, she will be awfully hard to run down. This is a good race with some quality, including NEW SHUFFLE (4) who has won both his runs back in the care of Phil Chircop in commanding fashion. ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (9) was a stunning winner from last at Melton on April 4 and all his form this time is great, DAY TWO (8) maps for a nice trip on the pegs and FOLLOWTHEACE (6) put in a shocker last time, but was a good winner before that from the front and does have gate speed. BACK: ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (9) – 3 units (place)
