RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: A race that sets up nicely for BOND GIRL (6), who has been knocking on the door to win again in this type of grade for a few weeks now. She’s a horse that takes some winding up in her races but usually hits the line hard, as evidenced by her recent close-up efforts at Geelong and Ballarat. The small field suits, she’s probably the horse going the best of this lot and it looks as though she either wins or goes very close with even luck. SHIRALEE (4) hasn’t been in the right spot her last two runs, but prior form is sound and she won’t be far away in this class, THE REGULATOR (3) is first-up for Sam Barker without a trial and must be respected from this stable, while veteran RIVER PATROL (1) hasn’t got any great form to get excited about, but has the gate and early speed to run well.
