RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KITZBUHEL DELIGHT (2) ran well first-up from a break, making up big ground for fourth, before only being beaten 6.9m in a heat of the Warragul Pacing Cup from a tough gate. He drew awkward again last start, and while he didn’t finish off that race, gets a much better barrier here and looks a good chance, particularly if able to wrestle the lead off SKIPPYS DELIGHT (1), who was disappointing from the front last start at Stawell. JANIEBQUICK (6) was working up to a win which she got at Melton on July 10, and then actually ran pretty well when the map was against her at Geelong last time. She chased hard from back in the field and was only beaten 9.1m by Fiction File in a pretty quick time for this grade. She’s in good form and looks a key chance. Other major hopes appear to be ROSBERG (4) and SKIPPYS DELIGHT (1), but most runners have claims. BACK: KITZBUHEL DELIGHT (2) – 2 units (win)
