RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: We got a look at five of these horses in a race at Geelong last Friday that was ultimately taken out by THUNDA STRUCK (7), who sprint-laned to victory over favourite RUBYS DREAM (5). The latter was first-up there and did control things at the front, so was perhaps a little disappointing not to win. That said, I’m in her corner again as I expect she can work over and take the lead off fast starter NAKEDTRUTH (3) and prove hard to run down back from 2100m to 1720m. THUNDA STRUCK (7) must be a chance based off his win last time, QUIRKY CHARACTER (8) was back to something like his best in that aforementioned race and only went down by 1.5m after coming from off the speed, while NAKEDTRUTH (3), who maps to find the pegs and was good running second to the handy Vici Bloom last time out, and KEAYANG LAVITA (6), who ran fourth in that clash at Geelong, are other leading hopes. BACK: RUBYS DREAM (5) – 2 units (win)
