RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ATEGO DAWN (2) possesses early speed and is drawn to receive every chance. She won at Bendigo three starts ago and was held up for a run at a vital stage when a creditable fourth at Kilmore last outing. KYVALLEY JENNY (6) progressed forward from a similar wide draw to race without cover and tired after enduring a tough run last outing. She was placed behind Shezalover (won again since) prior and she strikes a suitable assignment here. BETSY ANNE (3) was heavily supported and delivered clearly a career best performance when she led throughout and dominated her rivals at Bendigo last outing. She is a winning chance if she can find the lead early again here. ATTRACTED (8) broke stride at the start and lost his chance on a wet track at Kilmore last outing. He will find this race to be a little easier than his recent efforts and cannot be left out of calculations.
