RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: It is a tough race to assess with four last start winners engaged. PRICILLA (5) won at big odds when on debut but she recorded fast time and scored comfortably so she appears to be capable of taking the next step forward. BIGBASHASH (8) also won impressively at her debut performance. She is awkwardly drawn but she is nicely bred and has shown from her debut performance and from the trials that she has the ability to feature prominently against this class. WAZOWSKI (3) is a strong type and continues to build up a consistent record. She will appreciate her best draw for some time and should be prominent throughout. ALWAYS A SHOWGIRL (6) gained a trail into the race out three horses wide from the 700m when a handy second at Maryborough then scored the following day at Kilmore after working forward to find the lead shortly after the start. She is racing in good form and is worth thought again. CHOGI (7) is a speedy mare and bounced back into winning form when she scored at Stawell last outing. She is widely drawn but is worth an investment.
