RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Concerned about getting crossed and buried away at the start here with RUBYS DREAM (1), but going with her on top first-up for the powerhouse Lee stable. Her two trials since joining the camp have been good, with a win over stablemate KEAYANG LAVITA (6) and a close-up third to pacer Sweetheart Bart and top trotter Hoppy. Looks to be going well and just needs to hold a prominent position from one to be a key winning hope. Stablemate KEAYANG LAVITA (6) overcame a 20m handicap to win narrowly first-up from a break and is very talented when she does it all right, ALDEBARAN SUSANNE (2) has good gate speed and becomes a winning factor if she gets to the fence like she did when scoring narrowly last time out at Melton, while DICHOTOMY (9) has cost herself with gallops her past two, but a faultless display would have her right in this. THUNDA STRUCK (3) also flies the gate and while his first-up fifth was just fair, he’s a factor along with a few others headed by KEAYANG GYPSY (8). BACK: RUBYS DREAM (1) – 2 units (win)
