RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: STARLIGHT RED (2) is a brilliant beginner from the standing start and is racing in good form so she should give a bold showing. She gained a nice trail just behind the speed when she finished off best to win at Echuca then attempted to lead throughout at her past two attempts. JACKIES GIFT (10) is the class runner of the field but she lacks standing start experience and faces a tough handicap of 20m. She led throughout in record time at Echuca two starts ago then took on much tougher opposition at Melton. STRAIGHT TO THETOP (9) is a quick beginner from behind the tapes and has the ability to feature prominently. She is first up from a break and hasn’t been to the trials but she was placed five times in succession towards the end of her last preparation. VAN DOREN (5) continues to race consistently against this class. He enjoyed a nice trail throughout when fourth behind Jilliby Topgun last outing and is worth a ticket each way.
