RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: JILLIBY TOPGUN (8) has produced his most consistent preparation to date and was solid last time despite doing work in the run. He drops in grade here and gains the services of in-form concession driver Liam Older. Expect him to ease early before working into the race at the right time. LITTLE TEDEY (4) has been racing well when able to be saved for one run and was a little unlucky not to finish closer at Bendigo last start. TAKEN BY WINE (3) won well in maiden company two starts ago when leading and sprinting away. He hasn’t quite backed that up since, but the distance suits. SAINT EYES (6) caused an upset at Bendigo four runs ago and the form out of that race has held up nicely, though the draw is awkward.
