RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: IMALLATTITUDE (2) was impressive breaking through for his maiden victory two starts ago at Maryborough. He worked forward to race in the breeze on a rain-affected track and proved too strong. Last start at Stawell, he hit the line well after settling well back. If he can take advantage of his favourable barrier, despite lacking gate speed, he is a genuine winning chance, even though this is a step up in class. WOW YOU CAN DANCE (9) enjoyed a recent campaign at Mildura, where he won by 32.8 metres for Alex Ashwood three starts ago. He was only fair last start, but if he can reproduce his best form, he is a winning chance from an ideal second row draw. FOREGONE CONCLUSION (6) has won his past two starts impressively with Grace Bilney in the sulky. He has the best sectional times in this event, although the awkward barrier makes the task more difficult. QUICK DECISION (3) is racing well and finished strongly for second at Terang last start. If he can settle in a favourable position, he is right in the finish. Also respecting QUICK CRUNCH (10) and ROCKLEIGHS LEGACY (7), who are both in great form but are likely to face difficult race maps from their barriers. BACK: IMALLATTITUDE (2) – 1 unit (win)
