RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: NUCLEAR ATTITUDE (5) broke through for a long-awaited victory here at Ballarat back on May 14 and is fancied in this tricky event to close the card. Since that win – in which he defeated TOUCHANDGO (2) – Ginger Gleeson’s trotter ran another good race at Geelong last Friday night. He led and was only beaten 5.3m by Shezalover and has formlines that make him a key contender here. While ROBERT JOHN (3) was a little disappointing last time out, his prior form is solid for a race like this and he looks another of the major players alongside stablemate RASENGAN (6), who ran well when second at Bendigo on June 3. JOE LOU (4) has made mistakes his last couple, but is capable if on his best behaviour.
