RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: DONA AMALIA (10) struck trouble and lost his chance when seventh at Kilmore last outing. He finished off strongly when a game second behind Jilliby Topgun prior so he appears to be hard to beat against this line up. POPPY POPSTAR (9) tired after racing without cover at Kilmore last outing but she was a big winner at Maryborough when working hard in the run prior and she has won five races under similar conditions this season. RASTAMON (4) is a fast beginner and will take catching if he is able to find the lead. He attempted to lead early, ended up being behind the leader from the 1300m and finished in fourth at Ballarat last week. VAN DOREN (2) is trotting consistently and is drawn to gain a trail just off the speed. He is worth thought along with MORNING DOVE (5), QUEEN TRUSCOTT (7) and BLACK AND GOLD (11). BACK: DONA AMALIA (10) – 1.5 units (each way)   The odds quoted on the fields page are a GoodForm generated price estimate based on a range of key form factors and are not necessarily the odds that may be offered by a licensed bookmaker.
