RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ALLGOOD VINNIE (2) was hammered in the lead and grabbed late by AVEIRO (8) last time at Ballarat, with a big margin back to third. It was a brave run given the pressure he copped and his prior form is good for a race like this. If he leads, he looks very hard to beat. OUR BELLA LUCIA (5) produced a huge turnaround in form to win by a mammoth margin at Melton last week and must be respected off that effort, FLYING SPARKS (4) is one of the gate speed runners who looms as a chance, HURRICANE HOOLY (9) was no match for OUR BELLA LUCIA (5) two back but did run well for third at Maryborough on Monday, while AVEIRO (8) must be some hope given he beat our top selection last time, but did have everything in his favour.
