RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KEAYANG RENEGADE (6) looks one of the most exciting young pacers in Victoria and he produced another super performance in his heat of this series when sitting parked and powering clear of his rivals to win in a sizzling 1:52.9 mile rate. He’s unbeaten from four career starts and is expected to go on his merry way here in this final that brings together a good field following qualifiers at Echuca, Bendigo and Ballarat. MAAS BETTING AGAIN (3) won the Echuca race and has the gate speed to roll to the top again here, the smart SANCHEZ (12) sat parked and prevailed at Ballarat, as did LOUGLE (13) in the second of the heats at Bendigo when he was first-up back in the care of trainer Gerard Jamieson.
