RACE COMMENT
ANALYSIS: ESCOBAR (10) is first-up for new trainer Vince Vallelonga and warmed up for this with a third placing to Soho Hudson – a subsequent victor at Melton – and Inter Dominion-winning trotter Arcee Phoenix at the Kilmore trials. That reads well for this, and he might be worth a play at likely each-way odds in a wide-open event. JUSTLIKEDAVE (9) couldn’t work into things when out the back at Cranbourne last time, but I loved the finale from last when fourth to in-form pair Talkbabytalk and Shiffrin two runs back at Geelong, BLUE MIKI (8) won a tune-up trial following his last outing and has some form to like, while WICHITA KANSAS (2) would be a winning hope if he pushed forward and found the front. BACK: ESCOBAR (10) – 0.5 units (each-way)
