RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: OLIVER DAN (7) hasn’t won since August 2025, but has been running in so many of the state’s big features this campaign and looks to get his chance for a long-awaited triumph here. Last week he was caught parked in a 1200m race at Melton and was only beaten 2.8m into fourth, but this appears much more suitable and he should be able to bully his way to victory. CALEXICO (5) is a smart type from the Laura Wilson stable who returns for his first run since mid-January, HES NO ROMEO (2) looks the early leader and heads here on the back of a tough win against lesser opposition at Bendigo on April 1, while the handy OUR LUCIANO (6) is first-up without a trial but did race some top-end rivals last campaign and is certainly capable in this grade.
