RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ROMANTIC NINA (3) caught the eye last start, coming from well back at Bendigo two back, maintaining a strong effort to the line. She was good again last week from a terrible draw. Things look much more favourable from this position to get a deserved win. KARBINE (2) beat her home last time, and he’s similar in that he’s rarely had luck with draws, so from here he looks the testing material again. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT (8) will appreciate the drop back in grade and just had to do too much work last time. Her form prior was quite solid. WATTS UP THE HILL (5) is first-up but has trialled ok and stays under notice on the score he raced well last prep and is from an astute stable. BACK: ROMANTIC NINA (3) – 2.5 units (win)
