RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: ALLTHINGS MENANCING (10) is a first starter for trainer Michael Ramstein, which came from last and made up many lengths at his latest trial second. He obviously has ability and is worth following. CHARLIE SEBASTIAN (3) also shaped up nicely at the trials with a second placed effort at Cranbourne and must be kept safe. WESTERIA (2) gained the perfect trip and just failed to overhaul Look At Her when a close second at Stawell last outing. She was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished off fast for a close second at Cranbourne prior so she is getting close to a win. SMOKEN HEAVEN (1) finished in third behind the smart pacer Farroh Joe after trailing the leader throughout at Kilmore last outing. He is ideally drawn and should run a good race again. DIAMOND CHIPP (9) showed some ability at his debut performance and should have improved with the experience so he is not without a chance. BACK: ALLTHINGS MENANCING (10) – 1.5 units (each way)
