RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Trainer Jodi Quinlan looks to have two key chances here in the Concession Drivers race with LADY IN LINE (9) and EYE SEE AMOUR (10). LADY IN LINE (9) is second up and her first-up performance was a bit better than it looks on paper as she got caught well back. She will be fitter for that run and has the barrier to follow through into a good position. Based on her sectional times last preparation, she is one of the better performed horses in this field. EYE SEE AMOUR (10) has been quite unlucky recently and is racing better than his numerical form suggests. When he hasn’t been stuck on the fence, he’s been covering significant extra ground. In an even field, if he has some luck, he’s a genuine chance. QUICK DECISION (3) looks to map well from barrier three and performed well in the Stawell Pleasant Creek series recently. BOND GIRL (4) had the 1-1 run last start and finished strongly to win. If she gets a similar trip here, she is a winning chance. This is an even race, and BETTORPATCHMEUP (8) and CALEDONIAN TERRA (5) also look like chances with the right run.
