RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: DOCTOR GO JOH (9) was a good winner at Stawell four runs back when he worked to find the lead and pulled away to win well. His runs since have been in stronger company than this, and although he comes off the back row, he can punch through behind what looks to be a keen front row. He looks well suited against this quality. QUICK DECISION (10) is going better than her form may suggest, racing in tougher grade where they have been running decent time. She must overcome the backrow draw over the short trip, but with a solid tempo expected she can overpower them late. LIVERMERE (8) was an all-the-way winner two runs back in similar grade and ran a decent enough time to be competitive here. The draw is a little tricky, but she can be strong late if the breaks come her way. EASY ROLLING (2) is hard to get a line on with recent efforts but has been racing in better company and now gets a top local driver to potentially improve, although you’re going back to 2023 for her last win. BACK: DOCTOR GO JOH (9) – 3 units (win)
