RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: BIGBASHASH (6) was resuming since February when fourth at Horsham behind The Sportz Star, where she worked hard in the run. She performed well at the trials prior and she has shown promise at her three starts to date so she is worth an investment. DON CRUNCH (7) is resuming since a Mildura victory in April but he has been impressive at the trials, particularly at a recent Bendigo success, and he appears to be one of the leading chances. FIVE CENT (4) is very one paced and couldn’t get any closer to the pegs than three horses wide after he commenced from the extreme draw at Maryborough last outing. He hasn’t had much luck recently and is capable of featuring prominently against this class. THELONGROADOFHOPE (5) settled three back on the markers and accelerated nicely to win at Ballarat last outing. This is a race of more depth but she is worth thought again. BACK: BIGBASHASH (6) – 1 unit (win)
