RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: EL TORNADO (3) has not been seen at the races in over two years, but makes a long-awaited comeback here. His three career starts as a two-year-old produced two good wins and he trialled up nicely with a dominant win at this track for new trainer Damian Burns. In a race where many of these are well exposed, he looks quite progressive and I’m happy in his corner. WITH APLOMB (8) can be hit-and-miss with her manners, but when she trots she is very good. Last time out at Maryborough on May 20, she came from a mile back with great closing sectionals to run fourth. She has a big finishing burst and a faultless display will see her right in this. WATCH AND ACT (5) has been running consistently of late and has the gate speed to put himself in the thick of the action, while TWEEDLEDEE (7) ran well at Bendigo on Wednesday night and is slowly working back into a winnable grade. BACK: EL TORNADO (3) – 3 units (win)
