RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KIMBERLEYS TREE (9) has produced eye-catching finales her last two starts at Kilmore for runner-up placings and looks a good chance here in a wide-open finish to the Early Quaddie. Two back, she galloped early, settled on the fence and charged home behind Constant before again coming from last for second behind I Am Harro. Think she will run well if the tempo is genuine. SHES SKY HIGH (5) led and was well beaten by the handy Majaro Girl at Melton last time but there was a big gap back to third and she’s drawn to press forward again, DOSSIER (3) is another of the quick beginners who ran well for second behind the in-form El Tornado at Ballarat on September 23, while ITZ CLASSIC GOLD (7) followed up his win at Ballarat with a third placing in a heat of the Need For Speed Prince series last time at Melton and is a factor despite the wide gate. Others have chances, headed by KAMARAN (8) who bombed the stand start at Charlton latest but ran well for second first-up prior to that.
