Angle Park Race 5 - 2025 The Spark H Pr2 Division1
GUNNING BANDIT (8) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (24.59) at Goulburn. One of the leading chances. CARUGGI (1) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Murray Bridge over 530m behind Moscow Chick (30.92) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Can measure up this time. OPTIMISTIC REIGN (3) turned in a fair run last time from the squeeze finishing fifth by 3 lengths (31.07). Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Has a win and three minor placings from four starts from this draw. Leading chance. CRYSTAL CROWN (4) good strike-rate and a bold showing is expected here.

Finished in the placings last time but the run prior he was an eye-catching winner scoring by one length in a Grade 5 at Goulburn. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 342m at this track. Can't enthuse on this occasion.
