RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HALF AS TOUGH (6) can be excused for finishing last last time out at Ballarat when he broke twice in running and dropped out. Before that, he made up huge ground from last to grab third at the same track in a clash five of these contested. The run prior at Stawell was also good when held up in the concluding stages. He’s lightly raced and has plenty of scope. LIV ON LOVE (1) gets the nice barrier one draw and heads into this maiden assignment on the back of a career-best third placing last time at Ballarat. That was in a race which featured seven of these horses and she closed nicely to beat all six of them home, including the on-top selection. FIRESIDE (2) has had plenty of tries but did finish fourth in that aforementioned race, while JAMALA KHAN (8) might be best of the rest after a Bacchus Marsh trial win last weekend and given she draws for a nice peg-line run behind one of the key fancies.
