RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HEZ SO ROYAL (7) couldn’t have drawn worse for his return to racing but he is a quality South Australian trained 3yo, which won both the Golden Nursery Pace and the Southern Cross series last season. He boasts an imposing record and has won two trials recently so he should prove hard to beat with normal luck in running. NEVS DREAM (6) faces a negative swing in the barrier draw but she did compete against the open class when third behind Tough Aint Enough last week so she cannot be left out of calculations. She has won seven races at Mildura this season and possesses brilliant early pace. MANINKY MOONSHINE (2) settled in the second half of the field and was doing his best work late when fifth in a very quick mile of 1.53.9 at Cranbourne last outing. He is yet to win in ten starts for the season but his last run was encouraging. MAGGACIS (5) continues to race in good form and is very versatile. He is widely drawn but should run his usual honest race. AVOCA BLUES (4) was beaten by a long way last week but he is a short course specialist and the drop back in distance is an advantage this afternoon.
