RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LIVERMERE (6) attempted to find the lead early, raced without cover then gained the one out and one back trail from the 1100m when a close up fifth behind The Regulator at Charlton last week. She is yet to win in 25 starts for the season but she is racing consistently against this grade and should be competitive again. THE DEMOCRAT (7) was able to beat LIVERMERE (6) to the line at his latest Charlton third but he did trail the leader after commencing from the inside of the second line and he is not as well drawn now. DANCIN WITH ELVIS (2) settled in a rearward position and was never a factor when sixth at Charlton. He was a winner at Mount Gambier in April and is better drawn for this assignment so he is not without a chance. ABERCROMBIE LIMBO (1) had every chance two starts ago but was placed from behind the leader prior and TELL A TALL STORY (5) should be fitter from his first up seventh, where he wasn’t beaten by far.
