RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BENNIE AND THE JETS (9) led and was run down by LITTLE YANKEE (5) a fortnight ago at Bendigo, but he’s favoured in this wide-open trot where they can just about all win. Bennie has been flying for Adam Rudd this preparation with two wins and a runner-up placing, and can turn the tables on his recent conqueror given that horse might not find the fence this time around. HEZA GUN (2) led, kicked and held off all rivals to win the Greg Sugars Always In Our Hearts Trot last week and that followed some really consistent form, IRON WOMEN (1) beat the aforementioned rival when she went all the way to win at Melton on April 10, and QUIRKY CHARACTER (7) loomed in that race won by LITTLE YANKEE (5), but went rough and ultimately galloped out of contention in the home straight. While his best is good, his form has perhaps just tapered off in recent starts. Other key hopes are LITTLE YANKEE (5) and Group 1 winner HILLTOP HUGH (3).
