RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: The inside back row draw is tricky, but it’s hard to go past THE FINAL DANCE (8) after what we saw first-up for the Emma Stewart stable at Ballarat on June 11. The three-year-old worked early to find the front, but still absolutely thrashed his rivals – including three that reoppose here – by a whopping 18.5m in fast time. Will be short, but deservedly so. JANIEBQUICK (6) ran well to grab third in that aforementioned race and has continued to catch the eye with two more placings since, TALKBABYTALK (5) was airborne with three wins during late May and early June and has had excuses since, while SHIFFRIN (10) won well from back in the field last time out and will be running home hard. BACK: JANIEBQUICK (6) – 3 units (place)
