RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LIBERTY STAR DUST (9) competed through the heats of the Vicbred Super Series at his latest start, and while well beaten, he certainly wasn’t disgraced in hot company. Before that, he won decisively at Kilmore after an eye-catching first-up run from the tail of the field at Melton. He draws well here on the second line and looks a progressive horse for Jodi Quinlan. Should run well. NINEDOLLA TOASTIE (3) has fought out the finish in her two runs since resuming in this grade and should run a forward race once again, the veteran LENARD ESS (5) has won his last two in dominant fashion in easier races than this but is clearly in good form, while CITY ROCKSTAR (8) draws to follow out the potential early leader in FIRESIDE (1) and her runner-up placing to Mount Barker Boy at Ballarat back in mid-July reads well for this. She has had excuses her past two and might be a good roughie. Most of the others have claims in a race where not many would surprise. BACK: LIBERTY STAR DUST (9) – 2 units (win)
