RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KISS ME MINI (3) had a nice run and beat home SUMTHIN ELSE (1) and TAPPY (5) three starts ago at Melton, was caught parked at Cranbourne after that but wasn’t beaten far and then stormed home for second behind the smart Seaside Boy at Geelong last Friday. She looks to be the horse in the best form here. TAPPY (5) never got a look at them at Maryborough last time and was caught parked in that race KISS ME MINI (3) won so is capable of turning the tables with the right trip, LETS GO LORNA (2) made the Vicbred and Breeders Crown finals last season but was a shade plain on resumption despite a tough trip, and SCHERGER THAT (6) might be next best in another race with plenty of hopes. BACK: KISS ME MINI (3) – 1 unit (win)
