OVERVIEW: A very good-quality 2yo race with several runners already showing talent. INDULGEME (6) deserves another chance based on his two career performances, the first where he was well backed at this track but raced roughly at key stages, and last time out was $1.25 favourite and, although he went down, it was probably due to focussing in the straight and he beat the rest by a space. If he brings his manners, he can map better than his main back-row rivals.

POSTER COMMAND (10) looked impressive in winning on debut at Bathurst where he was able to lead all the way comfortably and ran decent time. He goes to the back row and does meet strong opposition, but you must respect the stable travelling for this assignment. ONELOOK (11) comes through the Vicbred Series where she ran well in the finals considering the challenge she faced from the draw. Prior to that she was racing well, and although she’ll need the right tempo, the ability is clearly there. LACE AND LEATHER (9) defeated the top pick on debut when able to secure a good run in transit and backed up that performance with a close-up 2nd last time when able to lead. Gets a different set-up now but must be respected. OUR MAIN MAN (4) is a newcomer from NSW who is hard to get a handle on but is a market watch.

BACK: INDULGEME (6) – 2.5 units (win)
