RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PASTOR DUNBAR (1) is a star three-year who landed the Group 1 NSW Trotters Derby in May and returned from a break in brilliant style when he won the Holmfield at Melton on August 22. There, he sat parked and powered clear around the turn to beat a cracking field arrogantly. He’s fitter, draws gate one and is almost impossible to oppose. I’m a big fan of MISTER DEVEREAUX (2), who seems to be getting better and better this season. Last time out, he was nailed four back the pegs at Maryborough and savaged the line late to be beaten 2.2m in a slick last quarter. I’ve loved all his recent performances and he can run well at likely decent odds. UNCLAD (3) has returned a lovely three-year-old for Alison Alford and won two starts back at Melton before only a fair effort in the Holmfield, while IM HAVINTOTROT (7) was narrowly beaten first-up at Ballarat but did some work early and is a classy customer who has raced in features galore throughout the early part of his career. BACK: MISTER DEVEREAUX (2) – 3 units (place)
