Gosford Race 5

Mhf Tackling Brain Cancer

Stake: $1,688

HELLO PRETZEL (8) Well beaten when 8th last run at the track. Expecting improvement and suited at this distance historically. Should muster plenty of early speed. Drawn nicely. Should be in the finish. REBORN DILEMMA (4) Did well when 2nd last start around here. Will be pushing for a forward position early. In top racing shape since returning from a spell. No shock to see a win. DESPICABLE IZZY (2) Came in 4th last time at Richmond Straight. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Genuine threat. KUNDA (3) Mediocre performance when 6th last run at The Gardens but back to more ground. Contender in this event.

Comments

Was $20.00 and performed below standard when 7th last start at The Gardens but can save some energy from the draw. Has good early speed and will be nicely positioned. Hard to see this being competitive today.

Started at $11.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 6th last run at The Gardens but returning to a rise in trip. One that represents value at a decent price.

In the money when 2nd last start at this track. Should muster plenty of early toe. In top form since resuming from a spell. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Jumped at $8.50 and came in 4th last start at this track. Expecting improvement. Won't be far away during the run. Very capable of taking this out.
