RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: JUST LIKE NUGGET (5) is backing up quickly from his handy finishing fourth at Ballarat on Thursday night. His overall form has been strong with his only blemish at his past five attempts being when he dragged a flat tyre so he deserves to break through for a win. JANSEN (4) possesses early speed and is drawn to be prominent throughout. He attempted to lead throughout when third at Kilmore and ran a creditable fourth at the Bendigo trials on Monday night. MANOFMOYREISK (3) is a debutante for trainer Ashley Ainsworth that finished a distant third at a Maryborough trial last week. He met smart opposition in that trial and the mile rate was a brisk 1.56.8 so he is worth thought under these conditions. RUBYS REASON (7) is a 2yo taking on older horses but ran a game third at Melton last time out. She is worth thought in multiple combinations along with THELONGROADOFHOPE (9) and WATCH HIM DANCE (11). BACK: JUST LIKE NUGGET (5) – 2 units (win)   The odds quoted on the fields page are a GoodForm generated price estimate based on a range of key form factors and are not necessarily the odds that may be offered by a licensed bookmaker.
