RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Going to have a little throw at the stumps here on a horse that I think will come up big odds. VIVA STORM (8) was knocked over and taken out of play at Ballarat first-up on April 9, but chased hard and did a good job to beat two rivals home. A look at the sectionals suggest he recorded the fastest last two quarters of the race, getting home in a sharp 56.79. Worth a little play on the each-way in an open event. SHIRALEE (2) has started favourite her last four starts, won one of them and placed runner-up in another two. She has been parked in all of those and gets a great chance if she can cross FREAK OUT (1). PRECIOUS BELLE (5) beat a few key rivals that reoppose last time out at Ballarat and her prior form was really good, while WOODLEA DIEGO (4) is going along well without much luck and can be thereabouts. BACK: VIVA STORM (8) – 1.5 units (each-way) For all your harness form in one place go to goodform.thetrots.com.au  ** A betting unit is typically a percentage of the total bankroll or the amount of money you are willing to risk on a particular bet – for example 1 unit is 10% of your bankroll, therefore a $100 bankroll 1 unit equals $10 Chances are you’re about to lose. For free and confidential support call 1800 858 858 or visit The odds quoted on the fields page are a Goodform computer generated price based on a range of key form factors and are not necessarily the odds that may be offered by a licenced bookmaker.
