RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: JILLIBY ECLIPSE (8) started a very short-priced favourite on debut and did everything wrong, galloping twice in the run when she was about to obtain a good position. She’s had two trials since then and showed marked improvement in her manners. She will no doubt be short odds again, courtesy of the power of the Lee stable alone, but tread warily given her manners. SHEER ME (5) comes here with different form, having her first start for the new stable after arriving from NSW. She’s a well-bred mare coming in without a trial, but keep her safe and watch the betting. SPORTY ROCKS (3) has run some decent races, placing twice, and should get a decent map in a race that doesn’t appear overly strong. JADES REASON (2) is a 2yo filly taking on the older horses, and she wasn’t too bad last time out at Globe Derby, sitting parked for the final lap against a reasonable field and battling to the line okay. The soft draw helps.
