RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: JILLIBY TOPGUN (4) has shown good development during this campaign, improving his manners which resulted in him leading all the way here last start. If he brings those manners and temperament he can go back-to-back. JACKIES GIFT (10) has had three runs since coming from NSW and was a good winner two runs back. She over-raced and broke at Bendigo when well fancied; she’s worth another chance. VAN DOREN (3) returns to the front row and is better suited over the middle trip and can improve on recent form. I AM HARRO (9) led and faded running quick time last week and is worth another shot on his prior form.
