RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: TEX GOES BANG (9) has been racing well and has often had to make his own luck from tricky barriers in recent starts. Barrier nine should allow him to settle more comfortably and conserve energy early. Driver Liam Older is in great form and has built a good association with the gelding. SUPER CODE (3) has better form than his numerical figures suggest, with his sectional times consistently strong. If he can settle in a favourable position and enjoy some luck in running, he is a genuine winning chance. SKYZ ABOVE (1) scored at big odds over this track four starts ago after enjoying a fence trip. She looks likely to receive a similar run here and is well placed. TOPHUT JOHNY (7) is a 30-time winner who continues to race well, but he will need some luck from the draw. Also respecting FREAK OUT (5), who continues to perform well each start, and WICHITA KANSAS (8), who has a sharp turn of foot but may find himself buried on the fence from the inside of the back row. BACK: TEX GOES BANG (9) – 2 units (win)
