RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Genuine raffle where all of these could win without surprising, but I’ll side with RINGER WELLS (4). The former Andy Gath trotter has now joined the Michael Cole stable and won his last trial at Bacchus Marsh in preparation for this. He produced some good performances last campaign, including a second to Mister Blindside in a heat of the Vicbred Super Series, and looks to have the class to really give this a shake. MITCHELL WRAP (3) is a consistent type of horse who usually does things right and something like his best will have him right in this, MAJESTIC TOOTH (2) might be able to cross the stablemate PARIS KAY (1) and get down to the pegs where she is sure to be competitive in this type of grade, while IRON WOMEN (8) has done her best racing out in front during recent months but beat a number of these rivals in a recent victory at Melton on May 9. BACK: RINGER WELLS (4) – 1 unit (win)
