RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: She’s got a bad draw to contend with, but I AM WILMA (7) brings the best formlines into this race given she’s chased home the likes of Remus Pheonix, Rockinwithattitude and Jilliby Ballerini since returning from a spell. She’s was a Group 1 winner last preparation and I fancy she might just be too classy here. Stablemate HILLTOP HUGH (4) also won a Group 1 last campaign, and while he’s been placed his two starts this season, he has had every chance from the front. He’ll run well again as the likely early leader. South Australian visitor STOCKMAN PETER (6) was unlucky not to win when he locked wheels at a crucial time last visit to Melton and he heads here on the back of impressive wins at Globe Derby and Port Pirie, while veteran NEPHEW OF SONOKO (8) gets the nice peg-line draw to run well.
