Race comment
OVERVIEW: FOURBIGMEN (11) is beautifully placed to win the 2021 Hamilton Pacing Cup after a stellar run behind Grand Circuit class WOLF STRIDE in the Bendigo Cup. That’s the form line I want to be following here. This fella also finished less than 5m behind LOCHINVAR ART (the best pacer in Australasia IMO) just three starts back in a Vicbred Semi-Final and finished second to that superstar in the Vicbred final. If STRUVE (6) runs to the lead early as I expect, I can’t see where the pressure comes from thereafter other than FOURBIGMEN. If Kate Gath lets him stride early, the lead might well be up for grabs with STRUVE to get his chance up the lane. STRUVE is a serious racehorse and has put the writing on the wall in three of his past four starts, winning at times by huge margins. He’s the clear danger. SICARIO (12) is the other high-class runner here but will have to overcome the extreme draw. The good news for him is that he has four-time Hamilton Cup winning driver Chris Alford aboard. None better in this race than he. KOWALSKI ANALYSIS (2) is the other horse I want to include in trifectas. With lethal gate speed, can take a position on the pegs and if brings his A-game, he’ll be looming as the potential dark horse. Plenty of other classy horses, but they’re my top four. EARLY SPEED: 6 (potential leader), 1,2,4 RATINGS: 11 / 6 / 12 / 2 / 10 / 1 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 3 / 5 / 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: FOURBIGMEN (11) is beautifully placed to win the 2021 Hamilton Pacing Cup after a stellar run behind Grand Circuit class WOLF STRIDE in the Bendigo Cup. That’s the form line I want to be following here. This fella also finished less than 5m behind LOCHINVAR ART (the best pacer in Australasia IMO) just three starts back in a Vicbred Semi-Final and finished second to that superstar in the Vicbred final. If STRUVE (6) runs to the lead early as I expect, I can’t see where the pressure comes from thereafter other than FOURBIGMEN. If Kate Gath lets him stride early, the lead might well be up for grabs with STRUVE to get his chance up the lane. STRUVE is a serious racehorse and has put the writing on the wall in three of his past four starts, winning at times by huge margins. He’s the clear danger. SICARIO (12) is the other high-class runner here but will have to overcome the extreme draw. The good news for him is that he has four-time Hamilton Cup winning driver Chris Alford aboard. None better in this race than he. KOWALSKI ANALYSIS (2) is the other horse I want to include in trifectas. With lethal gate speed, can take a position on the pegs and if brings his A-game, he’ll be looming as the potential dark horse. Plenty of other classy horses, but they’re my top four. EARLY SPEED: 6 (potential leader), 1,2,4 RATINGS: 11 / 6 / 12 / 2 / 10 / 1 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 3 / 5 / 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: FOURBIGMEN (11) is beautifully placed to win the 2021 Hamilton Pacing Cup after a stellar run behind Grand Circuit class WOLF STRIDE in the Bendigo Cup. That’s the form line I want to be following here. This fella also finished less than 5m behind LOCHINVAR ART (the best pacer in Australasia IMO) just three starts back in a Vicbred Semi-Final and finished second to that superstar in the Vicbred final. If STRUVE (6) runs to the lead early as I expect, I can’t see where the pressure comes from thereafter other than FOURBIGMEN. If Kate Gath lets him stride early, the lead might well be up for grabs with STRUVE to get his chance up the lane. STRUVE is a serious racehorse and has put the writing on the wall in three of his past four starts, winning at times by huge margins. He’s the clear danger. SICARIO (12) is the other high-class runner here but will have to overcome the extreme draw. The good news for him is that he has four-time Hamilton Cup winning driver Chris Alford aboard. None better in this race than he. KOWALSKI ANALYSIS (2) is the other horse I want to include in trifectas. With lethal gate speed, can take a position on the pegs and if brings his A-game, he’ll be looming as the potential dark horse. Plenty of other classy horses, but they’re my top four. EARLY SPEED: 6 (potential leader), 1,2,4 RATINGS: 11 / 6 / 12 / 2 / 10 / 1 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 3 / 5 / 4

SICARIO (12) is the other high-class runner here but will have to overcome the extreme draw. The good news for him is that he has four-time Hamilton Cup winning driver Chris Alford aboard. None better in this race than he. KOWALSKI ANALYSIS (2) is the other horse I want to include in trifectas. With lethal gate speed, can take a position on the pegs and if brings his A-game, he’ll be looming as the potential dark horse. Plenty of other classy horses, but they’re my top four. EARLY SPEED: 6 (potential leader), 1,2,4 RATINGS: 11 / 6 / 12 / 2 / 10 / 1 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 3 / 5 / 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: FOURBIGMEN (11) is beautifully placed to win the 2021 Hamilton Pacing Cup after a stellar run behind Grand Circuit class WOLF STRIDE in the Bendigo Cup. That’s the form line I want to be following here. This fella also finished less than 5m behind LOCHINVAR ART (the best pacer in Australasia IMO) just three starts back in a Vicbred Semi-Final and finished second to that superstar in the Vicbred final. If STRUVE (6) runs to the lead early as I expect, I can’t see where the pressure comes from thereafter other than FOURBIGMEN. If Kate Gath lets him stride early, the lead might well be up for grabs with STRUVE to get his chance up the lane. STRUVE is a serious racehorse and has put the writing on the wall in three of his past four starts, winning at times by huge margins. He’s the clear danger. SICARIO (12) is the other high-class runner here but will have to overcome the extreme draw. The good news for him is that he has four-time Hamilton Cup winning driver Chris Alford aboard. None better in this race than he. KOWALSKI ANALYSIS (2) is the other horse I want to include in trifectas. With lethal gate speed, can take a position on the pegs and if brings his A-game, he’ll be looming as the potential dark horse. Plenty of other classy horses, but they’re my top four. EARLY SPEED: 6 (potential leader), 1,2,4 RATINGS: 11 / 6 / 12 / 2 / 10 / 1 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 3 / 5 / 4
