RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: WALKIN UNDERSTARZ (6) looks a talented mare from the John Tormey stable who returned to the races with an eye-catching second at Shepparton on June 2. She settled at the rear of the field and sprinted hard with a slick last quarter to close the margin on the winner to 5.6m. Her maiden victory last campaign was good and she might have a bit more scope than some of her rivals. It’s a wide-open event where most of these runners have a chance, however. JETAWAY SAINT (2) looked set to fight out the finish but galloped at a crucial stage last week at Kilmore, NO TELLING HEATHER (4) dropped out after leading at Ballarat last time but the run prior was good when second to Buckles For Berry, while AT THE DISTANCE (3) might just be the pick of the two Ross Graham runners from the draw.
