RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Very open trot here where you can make a case for most, but I’ll take a small chance on JACK SPRAT (3) for the fact I think he can work to the front. Last time at Melton, he led over 2240m and was only grabbed late by the in-form Sebastians Boy in what was a solid effort. The drop back to 1609m suits at a track he loves, with four of his seven career wins coming at this venue. KEAYANG LAVITA (8) has had excuses in recent runs, including Sunday when she made up huge ground from the 60m handicap to only be beaten 5.1m at Terang. If PROHIBITED GRACE (1) holds the front, she’d be the one to beat. I liked FREIGHT SHAKER (6) each-way last weekend and he ran well for fourth, but will benefit from the outing as trainer Chris Svanosio hinted that he was perhaps a little underdone there, while SKY FLAIR (10) ripped through the line late from a hopeless position in the Group 1 Vicbred Super Series final for four-year-old trotting mares and she’s been going really well this campaign. The chances don’t stop there…
