RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MUSKEE (7) is a really nice trotter for the John Justice yard and his two wins this preparation have been tough as nails. After failing on May 2, he pulled hard in the breeze last weekend, looked gone at the corner but rallied again to beat a handy field of rivals. He might have to do it tough again here, but his best is capable of getting it done. COLTRANE (9) has either galloped out of play or won this campaign so a faultless trotting display will have him right in this, KARBINE (4) is flying at present and won impressively at Bendigo on Wednesday night, while CENTURION DREAM (3) showed good gate speed when winning at Terang recently and would be competitive if she worked across to the fence. BACK: MUSKEE (7) – 3 units (win)
