RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ULTIMATE VINNIE (8) is a very smart horse who is well placed here. Last start at Terang, he raced wide in a race run near track-record time. It was a super run. He’s been unlucky at Free For All level, and from barrier eight he should stay out of trouble here. IMA TERMINATOR (7) is a smart horse at his best and has had some really tough runs recently, including in the breeze. He may need to make his own luck again here, but he has the ability. DONMARO (5) is a smart ex-New Zealand performer who probably hasn’t shown his best since moving to Australia earlier this year. He has had a few issues in his starts here but is first-up after a short break and trialled impressively at Melton last week. KING SAINT (6) was brave last start in the breeze at Shepparton. He’s a versatile horse who can make his own luck. From barrier one, STEEL THE MOMENT (1) should get a good trip here.
