RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Plenty of hopes here, but TEX GOES BANG (10) looks to be in really good form at present and shapes as a value runner here in race two. Last start, he drew bad, drifted to last and was a mile off them down the back, but produced the best last two quarters of the race to finish fourth behind tear-along leader War Zone. He sat parked and won tough at Cranbourne prior to that and should run well here given the likely early tempo. LENARD ESS (9) is a pretty consistent pacer who was only beaten 7.5m last week by Breathe Easy and chased hard for second to the handy The Final Dance prior to that, TALISKER SKIPPER (11) made an early break last start and didn’t have much luck when parked at Shepparton before that but some of the other recent runs have been encouraging, while AVEIRO (1) draws well and is always a chance in these types of races with a good trip. The chances don’t end there… BACK: TEX GOES BANG (10) – 1 unit (each-way)
