Hamilton Race 7 - Williams Water (Bm56)
UNDERSTUDY (1) resumes looking well-placed on his form from last campaign. He was formerly with the Price & Kent Jnr yard, now off a ten-week break with a new camp but he was racing well in town against much stronger opposition and if he's anywhere like that he'll go close. Wary of BELGIAN CHOCOLATE (5) who tried hard in a stronger race at Warrnambool last start having won her maiden dominantly prior at Terang. She draws well and looks nicely placed. SCHOLL DEEP (6) ran on well first up under 61kg at Kilmore when getting a long way back. Fitter now and up in trip suits, hard to hold out. DIMORA QUEEN (2) presents third up off a much improved run last time at Stawell and has each-way claims.
