OVERVIEW: It has been a losing sequence of 43 starts for TWEEDLEDEE (6), but this really does look a good race for him to land a first win since July last year. Despite being out the back in a wet old affair last weekend, Steve Alexandrou’s charge has been competitive in much stronger races than this of late and just needs to bring that sort of form to the table here to be giving this a real shake. His 18 career wins are one less than the rest of the field combined, and he gets in 11 rating points under the threshold given his $8000 claiming price tag. While he won’t map well, he might be too good. LADY MANCHE (3) is a lightly-raced filly from the Jess Tubbs stable who charged home from well back first-up here a fortnight ago and looks very capable in this grade, NIGHT FLIGHT (1) has great gate speed and has been very competitive of late so must be respected from the pole draw, while MET WITH A SHRUG (2) won an easier race in dominant fashion at Kilmore last week and looks in good form this campaign.

BACK: TWEEDLEDEE (6) – 3 units (win)
