RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: IAMAWINGATE (9) settled in the second half of the field and sustained a long run from the 700m when a game second behind Freak Out at Melton last outing. He tends to perform best at Shepparton having won nine races on the track and he is the horse to beat from his trailing draw. MISS HERMES (8) raced without cover throughout and fought on strongly when a close third behind WHERES WOOD WOOD (10) at Shepparton last week. She is awkwardly drawn but should be competitive again. WHERES WOOD WOOD (10) has been able to lead throughout at her past two victories. She drops back to the second line now but this race is no harder so she is worth thought again. MAJOR MAURIE (5) and THE LADYBIRD (7) are both worth thought in multiple combinations.
