RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: It is a very open race with several winning chances. SHEZABLUECHIP (8) has been placed in three of her past four starts and finished third behind Jay Bee in a slightly stronger race at Yarra Valley last outing so she gets the nod. OHEMMJAY CRESCO (9) has been placed at his past four starts and fought on strongly after racing on the outside of the leader when second at Albury last outing. He is versatile and looms as one of the leading chances. TEX GOES BANG (10) was held up for a run at a vital stage and worked through nicely for second behind Salsboy last week. He is usually competitive against this class and is worth an investment. MURIEL (1) is a possible improver from the perfect draw. EARLY SPEED: 5 (likely leader), 1,2,6 RATINGS: 8,9/ 10/ 1,5,11/ 2,3,6/ FIELD
