RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: JILLIBY BALLERINI (6) gets her big chance to claim a maiden Group 1 in the Sumthingaboutmaori Trot where she looks the horse to beat. A five-time placegetter at the elite level, all of those efforts have been behind champion stablemate Keayang Zahara, who will not be there on Saturday night. She heads here on the back of a runner-up placing to that aforementioned star in the TAB Trot at Cambridge and will run a short-priced favourite. She has a dazzling turn of foot and will need to produce it if ROCKINWITHATTITUDE (3) is able to cross to the fence. If she was able to get there – and that’s a big if given JILLIBY DREAMLOVER (1) and PINNIE (2) are drawn inside – she’d be a huge hope of producing an upset. TRACY THE JET (7) stepped out of three-year-old company last Saturday night at Bendigo and was solid in her return, but this looks tough from the wide gate. BACK: ROCKINWITHATTITUDE (3) – 3 units (place)
