RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PLATINUM JIVE (9) won from an impossible position thanks to an incredible drive from William Pace first-up at Cranbourne on September 13 and must rate as a great chance here based off that display. He looks to draw for a nice trip off the back row and should be hard to hold out late. MONTANA PRIDE (4) settled in front of PLATINUM JIVE (9) in that aforementioned race and could only manage fourth, but I suspect there’s a chance James Herbertson presses forward for the top and he’d be hard to beat if he got there. EASTBRO KOZZY (1) won narrowly at Maryborough last time after an unlucky second at Terang behind the smart Tactically Perfect prior and is a contender from the good draw, while WILD CARD (8) won at Cranbourne last start after being grabbed late when leading at Melton by emergency SCOOTER LOU (5). BACK: PLATINUM JIVE (9) – 2 units (win)
