RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: DARETODANCE (2) is a former Queensland pacer, which has joined trainer Gerard Jamieson. He won at Redcliffe last outing and he finished second behind the top trotter Mecarno at a recent Maryborough trial effort so he is worth an investment. HELLAVA DEAL (6) endured a wide trip and had excuses when unplaced at Terang last outing. He was a big winner at Charlton prior and is worth another chance. KEAYANG HUNGRY (1) has struck peak form at his past two attempts with a runaway victory at Mount Gambier followed by a third at Terang, where he circled around the field to find the lead mid-race. He is stepping up in class for this assignment but this is his best draw for a long time so he should be in front for a long way. AMERICAN ASSASSIN (7) pushed forward to race without cover, gained a one out and one back trail at the bell and battled on fairly well for fourth at Terang. He is a speedy type and is not without a chance.
