RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MOJITO MADNESS (9) ran a great race for second first-up in the care of new trainer Samantha Gangell at Melton last week behind Prohibited Grade, who is currently in great form. He settled in the one-one and closed off nicely to only be beaten 1.2m with a good margin back to third. He gets a nice trailing draw here and looks right in winning contention. BUSLIN BRODY (5) has long been a favourite of mine, and while he can do things wrong in his races, his best is pretty good. He led and won easily at Bendigo two starts ago and is likely to be one of the on-speed runners in this event. The other key hopes appear to be LEANNE LEEANN (4), who is going really well with runner-up placings her past couple, and DHONI TROUBLE (6), who won well at the trials this week and ran a cracker for second two back at Kilmore.
