RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Taking a chance here on a horse I’ve got a lot of time for who needs luck in his races, and that’s TWISTING BY (6). He’s a slow beginner and will probably end up in the back half of the field, but he possesses a good turn of foot and might be able to round them up given the likely early tempo with WITH IN REASON (5) and SOHO DARKNSTORMY (7) drawn on the front row. Last start, he was held up but savaged the line for third behind Always Be Blakey in a good race and he just needs the right trip to figure. CROCODILE SOCKS (1) returned from a break with a good second to the smart mare Wicked Confession in fast time at Wagga on August 14 and draws for a nice trip in this wide-open contest. He contested some key feature races as a three-year-old last season and should run well. WITH IN REASON (5) was incredible winning from the rear at huge odds last time at Melton and will run well again, while GOOD TOBE LOCKSLEY (8) gets the draw to improve on recent runs and the talented IMA TERMINATOR (4) hits this third-up ready to fire. They head the other chances in a race where most can win. BACK: TWISTING BY (6) – 1 unit (each-way)
