RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Without doubt the toughest race of the night with little quality form to go on. ROCKNROLL RAMBO (7) is having his fourth run for the new stable and there have been some positives in those runs to suggest he’s on the improve. The draw is very tricky, but those who will press forward will likely not have much petrol at the finish and he can overcome them. CHASING THE WIND (6) gets Chris Alford aboard now, and although he hasn’t been far away, he hasn’t been a winning factor, so is worth keeping safe. POWERLINC (4) is the stablemate and is slowly improving. She could be obliged to press forward from this draw and wasn’t far away in a similar race two back. He had every chance at Ballarat on Wednesday, but this is a bit easier. Then there’s a very even bunch with minor claims based on luck in running, with REASON TO LAUGH (8) and BLISSFULL LILY (10) going okay but have tough draws. GROOM (5) may be the likely leader but hasn’t won in a while and his form needs to lift. RIVER PATROL (1) will also map ok and has a good driver, and with that set up can improve on what he’s produced lately.
