RACE COMMENT
ANALYSIS: SHEZALOVER (4) has won both her starts this campaign in good style and strikes a very suitable assignment to make it three on the trot. Louis Emerson takes over the reins in this concession drivers’ contest and should be able to drive a confident race on the four-year-old mare. THE FIERY SUNSET (9) hasn’t been seen at the races or trials since October last year, but finished that campaign in great form and certainly looks up to a race like this, ALLWATFUNJINGLES (3) is usually around the mark at this level, while BAARLINEE (7) has won five of 12 starts at the Ballarat circuit and is going along fairly well at present.
