RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: OHHEMMJAY CRESCO (8) has been placed at his past five starts and raced out three horses wide for the last 700m when a game second behind Fremont Street last week. He is awkwardly drawn but deserves to break through for a win. TEX GOES BANG (7) settled in a rearward position and was doing his best work at the end when sixth last week. He is widely drawn but is usually competitive against this class so he is worth an investment. JERSEY SAM (9) raced without cover throughout and went down fighting when a brave second at Kilmore last outing. This is a race of similar standard so he is worth thought again. PINNACLE HOPE (1) has had a few chances recently but he is a fast beginner and is drawn to lead over the sprint distance so he cannot be dismissed. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 2,3 RATINGS: 8/ 1,7,9/ 4,5
