RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: This race honours the late, great Greg Sugars 12 months on from his devastating passing and the sentimental result would be for his wife Jess Tubbs and close mate James Herbertson to combine for victory with HOWDY MATE (10). He beat five rivals that he meets here first-up back on March 21, but has been a little disappointing his last couple. That includes last weekend when he galloped in the final lap and dropped out to run last as favourite. While his best might be good enough, it is a wide-open event. HEZA GUN (5) has good gate speed and has been racing well of late, CLAUDYS HERO (8) was runner-up to HOWDY MATE (10) and KYVALLEY JETSTREAM (9) before leading and finishing fourth in a clash a number of these contested on April 4, while the latter charged late and just missed Iron Women last time out at Melton and is racing very consistently this campaign. Most of the others can win, too!
