RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: BETTORBUST (1) is a first starter for trainer Alex Ashwood, which performed just as well as his stablemate Boystrous at a recent Bendigo trial in a slick mile rate of 1.57.4 so he appears to have a promising future. Considering Boystrous produced a big debut victory since that trial, BETTORBUST (1) should prove extremely hard to beat from the pole position. HIGHWAY HUSTLER (3) is a South Australian trained pacer, which has been runner up in two recent trial performances, the latest being at Globe Derby. She is meeting a smart juvenile colt in BETTORBUST (1) for her debut performance but she should be competitive. SOHO AMARYLLIS (2) is first up without heading to the trials but she is ideally drawn and strikes a reasonable field so she is a definite place chance. POSTER ART (4) produced a sharper effort at her second attempt at the races last week and is worth thought in multiple combinations. BACK: BETTORBUST (1) – 3 units (win)
