RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BANOS (6) is an exciting, progressive trotter. She has had four starts for three wins, with her only defeat coming when she galloped. Sectionally, she stands out in this field and this looks a suitable race for her to record a fourth win from five starts. SHONEE (1) resumed with a win last start after enjoying a fence trip at Maryborough. From barrier one, she should be suited by a similar race map. KIMBERLEYS TREE (4) has only missed the top four once in her career, and that came when she made a mistake in standing-start conditions. Suited by mobile conditions here and with her consistent form, she looks a solid first four chance. THE FASHIONISTA (3) is still learning what racing is all about, with her manners occasionally proving costly. However, she was promising last start when letting down well at Bendigo. If she trots throughout and secures a favourable run, she is a genuine contender. BACK: BANOS (6) – 3 units (win)
