RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FROSTY DROP (4) attempted to lead throughout and was gunned down on the line when second behind Yankee Mojoh in a slick mile rate of 1.54.1 at Melton last outing. She is a good chance of finding the lead again and is capable of going one better. JILLIBY ZUCCHINI (11) was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished off strongly for an unlucky second at Terang when resuming since December 2024. She would have benefited from the experience and looms as one of the leading chances. MAJOR ROY (9) raced without cover throughout in fast time when a brave second behind Themidnightexpress last outing. He hasn’t had much luck in three starts since resuming and he should be competitive again. FOREGONE CONCLUSION (7) has won five of his past seven starts and was able to find the lead from a similar wide draw at his latest victory. This is a race of more depth but he is worth thought again.
