RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: HES RUNAWAY BAY (6) was confidently supported when on debut but lost his winning chance after galloping 50m after the start. He was still detached from the main group with 800m remaining and was only beaten by 10m at the end so he probably should have won and will take beating if he gives a fool proof display this afternoon. DALAHASTEN (2) was safely held at Bendigo on Wednesday night but it was a strong Graduation heat won by Queen of Sees and this race is much easier. He was placed at his two starts prior and is worth another chance. I AM SKYE CHIOLA (5) delivered clearly a career best performance when she broke stride in the score up, tacked onto the group with a mile remaining and finished off quickly for second behind Glory Connect at Terang. She is still learning but has winning claims if she can deliver a repeat performance. MATISOFF (4) ran a distant second at his debut performance then broke stride around the first corner and lost his chance at his next attempt. He is worth thought in an open race to commence the program.
