OVERVIEW: LIBERTY STAR DUST (5) is racing well, with a good win four back at Kilmore when given an ace drive, then went very close to winning at Geelong two back. Around those efforts, he was racing against the elite of his age group in the Vicbred Series. He’s only had the one start at Cranbourne for a win, and although he’ll need luck from the draw, he is a strong winning hope.

CYCLONE JENNI (7) did a really nice job in winning from an awkward draw at this track four back and has been a little out of her depth class-wise since in the Vicbred. The draw is very tricky here but she deserves respect based on what she’s capable of. STORM VENDETTA (1) looks to get a very cosy run from the inside draw and has been racing well in his three runs for the new stable. He meets a few handy ones but must be included in exotics. HEZ HARRYWHO (2) finds a good draw and distance here to buck the trend of form he’s been in. That was the case four back when he found the front over the mile and wasn’t for catching at Kilmore. Look for a big bounce back on those key form indicators. FARROH JOE (3) is a 2yo taking on the older horses here and has run well in similar circumstances before, albeit in slightly easier company. He placed 2nd in his heat and 7th in the final of the Vicbred Series. WEONA OUR RIGHTS (4) is going okay, with his only failure to place this season coming when he drew wide in a Vicbred heat. He’s in the mix with the right run.
