RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: JACWILL KID (8) steps out here following his Group 1 victory in the Bathurst Gold Crown back on March 28. While he is a winner at the elite level, that was in two-year-old company and he meets the older horses here from the sticky inside draw. Yes he can win, but it won’t be easy against much more seasoned rivals. INSIDER TRADING (2) is currently racing in great form for Team McNaulty and this sets up as a nice race for him from barrier two. He has good gate speed and looks likely to find the fence, and from there will take plenty of catching. His runner-up placing to Sanchez at Ballarat and third to that same rival and rising star Keayang Renegade at Bendigo read sensationally for this. ALWAYS A SHOWGIRL (9) charged home from four back the fence to just miss at Melton last week in what was another good run, while BINALONG NIGHT (3) won in unconvincing style at Geelong as a short-priced favourite latest, but the runner-up Another Woods has come out and won since to frank the form. BACK: INSIDER TRADING (2) – 3 units (win)
