RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MUNNY THE MUNSTER (3) was right in the market first-up from a break when just a fair seventh in the Holmfield, but his run before a spell in late May was a dominant victory in the rich Nutrien series final at Wagga. He ran a narrow second in the Group 1 NSW Trotters Derby last campaign as well, and presents here in heat three as the horse to beat. PASS THE SALT (9) was a really tough winner from the chair first-up at Kilmore and was perhaps a little plain after that but has trialled well since, ITZ CLASSIC GOLD (10) is a nice trotter for veteran horseman Ray Cross and won well at Maryborough two back before being outclassed in the Holmfield latest, while the consistent REVERAND BOB (7), last-start winner and NSW raider I CHOOSE YOU (5), SA visitor IDEOLOGY (1) and dominant maiden victor JET PLANE (2) are some others that could figure with the right trip.
