RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: TEX GOES BANG (5) can afford to work forward against this moderate lineup and use his toughness in a race which looks suitable. He races best when he can roll along at a tempo he’s comfortable with, similar to last start when he ran 2nd sitting parked. If he finds the top, he’ll be hard to run down. WHERES WOOD WOOD (9) ran a decent 2nd last time out, and to be fair she’s been okay this time in, but like many of these doesn’t win out of turn. REASON TO LAUGH (6) is going okay without threatening to win, but he can slide across here and race handy. THE ACCIDENTAL ONE (4) has decent gate speed and may map to cross to the pegs and hand up, but she has had a few chances. BACK: TEX GOES BANG (5) – 2 units (win)
