RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: COME ON BILLEE (4) trailed the leader and came to the outside on the home turn when a close second behind Maxi Angel last week. He has been placed in five of his nine starts to date and should be competitive again under these conditions. ALMIGHTY RUSH (2) is a first starter for trainer Lane Johnson, which must be kept safe. She was performing fairly at the trials in Victoria then switched to South Australia, where she was runner up at a recent Gawler trial effort. SWEET LUCY LOU (8) broke stride at the start, settled down last and was held up for a run at a vital stage when a handy fourth last week. She is racing well but without luck so she is worth a ticket each way. THE NINJA (6) led out then took cover and raced fiercely throughout when second at Charlton on Monday. He is a maiden from 33 starts but he has been placed 15 times so he cannot be left out of calculations. BACK: COME ON BILLEE (4) – 1.5 units (each way)
