RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MEZZANOTTI (4) is resuming since a fourth in the Southern Cross Final at Globe Derby in December, where she was inconvenienced at the start then moved up without cover shortly afterwards. She performed well at her first season of racing and appears to have a promising future. DON CRUNCH (7) settled down in last position, gave the leaders a big start and made ground when a creditable fifth at Charlton last outing. He is widely drawn but he should be fitter from that performance and should give a bold showing. MAGELLAN (11) is resuming since April but she was racing in good form at the end of her last preparation and she has performed well at the trials with a second at Maryborough so she must be respected. COCOSWORLD (6) battled on strongly after racing on the outside of the leader throughout at his latest second so he is worth an investment. BUNGY (9) began quickly to find the lead and ran along at a genuine tempo when he scored at Kilmore last outing. This is a race of more depth but he is worth thought again.   The odds quoted on the fields page are a GoodForm generated price estimate based on a range of key form factors and are not necessarily the odds that may be offered by a licensed bookmaker.
