Race Review

Another competitive race. AL DUCA (5) is an interesting one, off a let up here with seven weeks between runs having last been seen finishing down the track in the Golden Mile at Bendigo. He raced very wide there on a good speed and was eased down but the two wins prior on wet ground rated well enough to win this. If he's been kept up to peak fitness he can bounce back. The old marvel JIMMY THE BEAR (2) won this race last year en route to Winter Championship Finals glory and is well placed to go back to back. He got to the right lanes at Caulfield but won well and will be very hard to hold out again. He beat Cartoon Graveyard there who has since won the Swan Hill Cup where SEAFALL (12) was a narrow sixth. She'd won two nicely prior and is in the mix. SEE THAT STORM (13) was a noted drifter at his local debut in the race won by Jimmy The Bear and never looked comfortable. Conditions key with him - he wants it dry. PUNCH LANE (4) can peak up to a mile and sets up nicely.
