RACE COMMENT
ANALYSIS: JILLIBY DREAMLOVER (5) will start a short-priced favourite here as she returns from a break. She has trialled up with a good second to pacer Nancys Boy at Terang and heads into this race following back-to-back placings at Group 1 level. She should have the gate speed to ultimately find the front and will take a power of beating. PINNIE (4) gets back into a much more suitable assignment after being well held at free-for-all level in recent weeks and should have the speed to get down to the pegs. She’s a handy mare and looks the key danger to the favourite. KEAYANG TWEETYBIRD (6) made an early mistake when $1.40 in a much easier race than this at Geelong last Friday but did well to chase into fourth, while KEAYANG GYPSY (2) is first-up without a trial and shares place hopes with TICTOK (3).
