RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: WATCH YOUR BACK (3) is a former Queensland pacer, which led throughout to win at his local debut then followed with an unlucky third at Mildura, where he commenced from the inside of the second line and was held up for a run at a vital stage before finishing off well late. He should give a forward showing under these conditions. TREACHEROUSTIMES (2) led throughout in his recent victories at Kimore and Ballarat and endured a tough trip on a wet track at Kilmore last week so he warrants respect. SPORTING RAGE (1) dropped out and was beaten a long way as favourite last outing but he finished off well for second at Ballarat prior so he is worth another chance from the pole position. HUXHAM CHUBB (8) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and is a possible improver. OUR PRINCESS DI (5) hasn’t been placed in eleven starts for the season but she was very heavily supported at Bendigo on Wednesday night and set up a hectic speed so she cannot be left out of calculations. BACK: WATCH YOUR BACK (3) – 2 units (win)
