RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LITTLE MISS MORGAN (2) has trialled really nicely at Cobram since her fourth placing here at Melton on August 7 when she made an early break but still did a great job to only be beaten 14.5m. She was only nabbed in the shadows of the post by the in-form Spirited Lass prior to that and her first-up win during July was very good. While her manners are always a concern, a faultless display will have her hard to beat, particularly if she finds the front. Great to see the return of last season’s Victorian 2YO Trotting Filly of the Year HARPERSEVEN (6), who heads into her first run as a three-year-old on the back of three trials. She won the Group 1 Vicbred Super Series final last season and must be respected in this grade. MET WITH A SHRUG (1) is going great guns for Team Murphy and chased well for second behind the smart The Preacher last time, while KEAYANG MINNESOTA (8) is two from two this campaign and is the other key winning hope alongside the unbeaten LORD LOGAN (3), who has been so impressive despite death seat trips in two wins to start his career. BACK: LITTLE MISS MORGAN (2) – 3 units (win)
