RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CHAMPAGNES (2) was heavily supported ($1-45 fav) and finished in third at Maryborough last outing after racing fiercely in the leading role. She is drawn to find the lead again and the drop back in distance is in her favour so she should prove hard to beat. WALKIN UNDERSTARZ (6) gained a nice trail, switched back to the inner turning for home and battled on fairly well for second behind Aldebaran Jazmine last outing. She has been runner up in three of her past four starts against similar grade and should be finding the line well. SHEZALOVER (7) gained a nice trail and appeared to have her chance when fifth behind Apex at Ballarat last outing but she won nicely at her previous two attempts. She is poorly drawn but has the ability to figure in the finish. RASTAMON (9) ran a strong race after parking without cover throughout at his latest second and is not without a chance. PATNWILL (3) is a fast beginner and should be close to the speed throughout. He set up a very slow tempo in the lead and was run down late by Money Talks at Kilmore on Wednesday night.
