RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Very tricky race to assess this one, where most of the runners have good claims. Noting a small ownership share in TIMBIMBOO (7), and while he was perhaps a touch disappointing last time out, he did finish midfield and beat home a couple of rivals that reoppose here in MONTANA PRIDE (5) and DRESSED IN GOLD (3). He was a strong winner in both of his starts prior and narrowly goes on top despite the wide gate. MONTANA PRIDE (5) was a dominant Kilmore winner from the front in early February and was good again when third last weekend behind Wild Card, DO IT (4) is a lightly-raced customer who has some close-up efforts behind handy rivals Twisting By and Shadow Celt to his name, while GOOD TOBE LOCKSLEY (1) and quick beginner GALAXY LASS (2) should get lovely trips and can figure in the placings along with CLYMENUS (8).
