RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: If you are a regular backer of SPIRITED LASS (5) then she’s probably given you a couple of grey hairs, but also plenty of thrills along the way. She’s talented, but her manners are very dicey as evidenced by her past couple of starts when she’s galloped in the run. Scott Ewen’s mare loomed to win last weekend as a $1.45 favourite at Cranbourne but went off stride, and before that just couldn’t find clear running and ultimately went up in the air when well fancied in a good race on a Saturday night. If she trots here, I think she wins. FLYIN TIME (3) hasn’t won yet this campaign, but is knocking on the door and heads here after a runner-up placing at Kilmore when she kicked clear at the corner before being hauled in by Aldebaran Denbay. There was a big margin back to third there and she looks the potential early leader. Key danger. AGAINST THE BRIDLE (6) has won his past two in easier grade with the master James Herbertson aboard, while WHY NOW (4) broke his maiden in good style at start three last week at Ballarat and should run a forward race. BACK: SPIRITED LASS (5) – 3 units (win)
