RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: TEX GOES BANG (7) settled in the second half of the field and finished off strongly when a close second behind TOPHUT JOHNY (9) last week. He is versatile and is capable of turning the tables. TOPHUT JOHNY (9) began quickly to find the lead and held off all of the challengers to win narrowly at Shepparton last week. He is racing consistently having been placed at his past seven starts and this race is no harder. MURIEL (10) defeated TOPHUT JOHNY (9) after enjoying the perfect trip behind the leader at Kilmore last outing. She faces a negative swing in the barrier draw but is worth thought again. AMBER ALERT (5) attempted to sustain a long run out four horses wide from the 500m when a creditable fifth last week and is not without a chance. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 3,4,5 RATINGS: 7,9/ 10/ 5/ 2,3,6
