RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: WHERE IT BEGAN (1) is resuming since a fourth at Shepparton in May but he finished second at a Shepparton trial effort last week after setting the pace and should give a forward showing first up. AMADA VILLMA (7) began quickly and found the front from a wide draw before being run down over the latter stages when second behind Mammals Reason at Shepparton last week. She should be fitter from that run and is capable of going one better now. MAJOR FRIEND (8) has the perfect trailing draw behind WHERE IT BEGAN (1) and has been placed from behind the leader at her past two attempts so she should run a good race again. ELLIANA (5) gained a nice trail for the majority of the journey when she worked home reasonably well for second at Shepparton last week. She is meeting a field of similar standard here and is worth thought again.
