RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Very even looking contest, but fancy SCAR (5) is running the best of these at present and I’ll lean his way in a wide-open contest for the 57-67 rated trotters. He sat parked last start and looked in trouble at the corner, but dug deep to beat QUEEN KIZEN (2) and co. at Kilmore. He was very brave in a couple of runs from the chair prior to that, and was beaten just 3.7m by Hallebesofine at his last appearance at Geelong. That horse is well fancied in a Group 1 Vicbred final on Saturday night. Reads well. TICTOK (1) is going along okay and draws well in a race where she is expected to lead or be leader’s back. Last weekend at Melton, she sat in the one-one and managed to finish third to Vici Bloom. From the pole, she must be a chance. PARIS KAY (4) beat home TICTOK (1) last time out and did win a race of this grade from the front at Melton in mid-July, while RARITY ROCK (3) was a very good winner at Cranbourne two back before only a fair display last time at Geelong when settling well back in the running line. All of these can win with the right trip, so don’t be afraid to go wide in the last leg of the Quaddie. 10-UNIT GAME PLAN R1 #9 LIBERTY STAR DUST – 2 units (win)R3 #1 RUBYS DREAM – 2 units (win)R6 #7 MY UNCLE STAN – 3 units (win)R7 #5 SPIRITED LASS – 3 units (win) EARLY QUADDIE 3,5,9/3,4,5,8,9/1,2,6,8,9/1,7,8 QUADDIE 1,2,4,6,7/1,2,6,7/3,5,6/1,3,4,5
