RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: KATIE LORRAINE (2) aims for a hat-trick of wins to begin her career, and the way her form is shaping up she can do just that. She beat a moderate field first-up off some good trials when she bullied her way to the lead, then she sat off the pace at Warragul and found the line strongly in good time. Back to her home track can only be advantageous. FROSTY DROP (4) is chasing consecutive wins at this track. She was able to lead all the way from the pole over the middle distance, and now back to the mile will be stamped urgent to look for the pegs again. If she finds the top, she will take some catching. BELLA LOUISE (1) drew the same gate last time out and was solid, going down narrowly in good time. If the top two overcook things it will be to her benefit. ROCKY PACIFIC (6) is a former Kiwi having his first start under race conditions here, but his trials have been solid against some talented types. He’s a betting watch in a decent line-up. BACK: KATIE LORRAINE (2) – 1.5 units (win)
