Race comment
OVERVIEW: ROMEO (6) showed some real talent last season as a two-year-old, winning by big spaces in a couple of races at Cranbourne and Bendigo before being outclassed in the Vicbred Super Series. He’s trialled really nicely for his return, including a fast-finishing third from last in a quick final quarter at Melton on April 28, and he should be able to resume with victory here. DELIGHTFUL CHARM (8) was only grabbed in the shadows of the post last Friday and is knocking on the door for new trainer Basil Dooley, MORRIS BROWN (7) didn’t run too bad for fourth first-up for new connections but has an awkward gate, and POSTERIZED (4) has good early speed and could figure in the placings if he was able to find the top fresh from a break.

OVERVIEW: ROMEO (6) showed some real talent last season as a two-year-old, winning by big spaces in a couple of races at Cranbourne and Bendigo before being outclassed in the Vicbred Super Series. He’s trialled really nicely for his return, including a fast-finishing third from last in a quick final quarter at Melton on April 28, and he should be able to resume with victory here. DELIGHTFUL CHARM (8) was only grabbed in the shadows of the post last Friday and is knocking on the door for new trainer Basil Dooley, MORRIS BROWN (7) didn’t run too bad for fourth first-up for new connections but has an awkward gate, and POSTERIZED (4) has good early speed and could figure in the placings if he was able to find the top fresh from a break.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: ROMEO (6) showed some real talent last season as a two-year-old, winning by big spaces in a couple of races at Cranbourne and Bendigo before being outclassed in the Vicbred Super Series. He’s trialled really nicely for his return, including a fast-finishing third from last in a quick final quarter at Melton on April 28, and he should be able to resume with victory here. DELIGHTFUL CHARM (8) was only grabbed in the shadows of the post last Friday and is knocking on the door for new trainer Basil Dooley, MORRIS BROWN (7) didn’t run too bad for fourth first-up for new connections but has an awkward gate, and POSTERIZED (4) has good early speed and could figure in the placings if he was able to find the top fresh from a break. BACK: ROMEO (6) – 5 units (win)
