RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HURRICANE HOOLY (1) looks well placed with the mares' concession and gets a favourable draw to race on speed, which is where she performs best. She was a winner three runs back when she sat parked and was strong in decent time for this grade. She narrowly went down last time, and starting on the pegs is a big advantage. TEX GOES BANG (3) returns to a front-row draw, which helps him improve on his recent form as he’s a grinding type who brings better stamina than speed. He has a sound record at this track. WINGATE GUY (8) can hold her back and is also suited in this grade. He has been a little disappointing of late, but the soft draw and map work in his favour. TOPHUT JOHNY (7) goes well at this track and was a winner here back in May when able to lead. The draw is a challenge, but his best form keeps him in the mix.
