RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: This is a competitive trotting event with quite a few nice chances. WITH APLOMB (9) is a very talented mare but does have her quirks. Her past two runs can be forgotten after she was checked in one and galloped in the other. Prior to that, she had been putting together some eye-catching performances. If she trots throughout, she is a big threat. SEBASTIANS WAITING (6) is a big trotter with plenty of ability who won well at Kilmore last start. If he gets the right run, he is a winning chance. ALDEBARAN SUE (10) is a lightly raced mare returning from a successful Queensland campaign, where she had three starts for two wins and a third. She looked very dominant winning at Albion Park last start and appears to be a progressive type. FREMARKS PEGGY (5) is in career-best form and has a great relationship with driver James Herbertson. Also respecting ALDEBARAN SUSANNE (8), who comes out of strong Saturday night fields. She has a great turn of foot but faces an awkward barrier here. Noting ZARSKI (1) is first up for Michael Bellman and has not raced for 243 days. He has ability at his best, but fitness will be the big query here.
