RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FRANCO NICKELBACK (13) had his unbeaten record broken after galloping at the start at Bendigo last time, but did a super job in defeat. He recorded a race-fastest 55.13 last half in running fifth, beaten just 9.2m. While I hate the draw over the 1720m trip, his prior wins have been outstanding and he looks a talent. LAMBRO MACH (1) is crying out to win a race, but ruined his chances at Geelong last Friday by making a break at the start. While he’s in danger of being crossed early here, he looks a great chance if not buried away on the fence. He’s in good form. EYENEEDTHAT (4) was beaten as a short-priced favourite at Hamilton, but was caught parked there and was only grabbed late, while GUNFORHIRE (8) ran well first-up in a hot race at Ballarat and can figure late if the breaks come his way.
