Gosford Race 5 - Mhf Tackling Brain Cancer
DESPICABLE IZZY (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (18.30) in a Grade 5 at Richmond Straight over 324m. Can make amends. HELLO PRETZEL (8) is an accomplished sprinter with a great record at the short dashes. Was eighth last time (23.02) over 388m at this track in a Grade 5. Form here at the trip sound including four wins. Deserves plenty of respect. REBORN DILEMMA (4) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten one length (22.56) behind Lakota Courtney at this track. Comes through a solid form race last start. Must be included in calculations. KUNDA (3) can measure up with the right run.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.75 lengths in 22.41, beating Exon. Last start finished 7th over 400m at The Gardens beaten 25 lengths (24.50) behind Nicmac Storm in a Grade 5 on October 31. Looking to others this time.
