RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: The back markers KEAYANG GYPSY (7) and CRUSHER CLYDE (8) are clearly the class runners of the field and are capable of fighting out the finish, despite the large handicap of 40m. KEAYANG GYPSY (7) has been racing at a high level and boasts a strong standing start record so she gets the nod. CRUSHER CLYDE (8) endured a tough run and was impressive in winning at his Australian debut. He backed up with a close second at a Terang trial effort on Tuesday night and appears to have a promising future.  JAKARTA (4) was placed in the Horsham Cup three starts ago and battled on well after racing without cover at his latest fourth. He is a good beginner and is worth a place ticket. HAPPY ESCAPE (2), LEANNE LEEANN (5) and SONARMI JOH (6) are worth thought in multiple combinations.For all your harness form in one place go to goodform.thetrots.com.au  ** A betting unit is typically a percentage of the total bankroll or the amount of money you are willing to risk on a particular bet – for example 1 unit is 10% of your bankroll, therefore a $100 bankroll 1 unit equals $10 Chances are you’re about to lose. For free and confidential support call 1800 858 858 or visit The odds quoted on the fields page are a Goodform computer generated price based on a range of key form factors and are not necessarily the odds that may be offered by a licenced bookmaker.
