Race comment
OVERVIEW: First of all, congrats and commendations to anybody that got $7.50 or $8 about RED HOT TOOTH (6). Plainly put, she should be fave, and a short priced fave at that. In her career Kari Males’ multiple G1-winner has led 23 times; on 16 of those occasions she has saluted, usually racing the elite. And something totally unforeseen would be required to preclude her from leading tonight. She was perhaps a shade below her absolute best in the Maori Mile first-up but that was her first run in six weeks and she was beaten by a touch over 2m in 1:54.2; not a bad way to be below your best. All things being equal she’ll lead, dictate and prevail but if we’re being conservative there are four other solid chances engaged. DANCE CRAZE (8) has been a half-step off her devastating peak all preparation but even at 90% she’s still a genuine star. If there are a few early fireworks she’ll menacingly cut into the leader’s margin late and can basically win anything when she’s in the mood. Her stablemate ALWAYS READY (10) clearly represents the X-factor but he’s still yet to prove he can draw to do labour and beat the elite while SUNDONS COURAGE (4) and MAGICOOL (5) are both screaming out to win and perhaps, with no McLovin or Majestuoso, finally get their chance. The big key for SUNDONS COURAGE (4) could well be the start .if he scores up sweetly and finds the pegs before RED HOT TOOTH (6) gets there his sectional stats suggest he’s perhaps the major threat. EARLY SPEED: 6 (Likely Leader) + 1,4,5? RATINGS: 6/ 8/ 10/ 4/ 5/ 9/ 7/ 1/ 3/ 2

Race comment
OVERVIEW: First of all, congrats and commendations to anybody that got $7.50 or $8 about RED HOT TOOTH (6). Plainly put, she should be fave, and a short priced fave at that. In her career Kari Males’ multiple G1-winner has led 23 times; on 16 of those occasions she has saluted, usually racing the elite. And something totally unforeseen would be required to preclude her from leading tonight. She was perhaps a shade below her absolute best in the Maori Mile first-up but that was her first run in six weeks and she was beaten by a touch over 2m in 1:54.2; not a bad way to be below your best. All things being equal she’ll lead, dictate and prevail but if we’re being conservative there are four other solid chances engaged. DANCE CRAZE (8) has been a half-step off her devastating peak all preparation but even at 90% she’s still a genuine star. If there are a few early fireworks she’ll menacingly cut into the leader’s margin late and can basically win anything when she’s in the mood. Her stablemate ALWAYS READY (10) clearly represents the X-factor but he’s still yet to prove he can draw to do labour and beat the elite while SUNDONS COURAGE (4) and MAGICOOL (5) are both screaming out to win and perhaps, with no McLovin or Majestuoso, finally get their chance. The big key for SUNDONS COURAGE (4) could well be the start .if he scores up sweetly and finds the pegs before RED HOT TOOTH (6) gets there his sectional stats suggest he’s perhaps the major threat. EARLY SPEED: 6 (Likely Leader) + 1,4,5? RATINGS: 6/ 8/ 10/ 4/ 5/ 9/ 7/ 1/ 3/ 2

Race comment
OVERVIEW: First of all, congrats and commendations to anybody that got $7.50 or $8 about RED HOT TOOTH (6). Plainly put, she should be fave, and a short priced fave at that. In her career Kari Males’ multiple G1-winner has led 23 times; on 16 of those occasions she has saluted, usually racing the elite. And something totally unforeseen would be required to preclude her from leading tonight. She was perhaps a shade below her absolute best in the Maori Mile first-up but that was her first run in six weeks and she was beaten by a touch over 2m in 1:54.2; not a bad way to be below your best. All things being equal she’ll lead, dictate and prevail but if we’re being conservative there are four other solid chances engaged. DANCE CRAZE (8) has been a half-step off her devastating peak all preparation but even at 90% she’s still a genuine star. If there are a few early fireworks she’ll menacingly cut into the leader’s margin late and can basically win anything when she’s in the mood. Her stablemate ALWAYS READY (10) clearly represents the X-factor but he’s still yet to prove he can draw to do labour and beat the elite while SUNDONS COURAGE (4) and MAGICOOL (5) are both screaming out to win and perhaps, with no McLovin or Majestuoso, finally get their chance. The big key for SUNDONS COURAGE (4) could well be the start .if he scores up sweetly and finds the pegs before RED HOT TOOTH (6) gets there his sectional stats suggest he’s perhaps the major threat. EARLY SPEED: 6 (Likely Leader) + 1,4,5? RATINGS: 6/ 8/ 10/ 4/ 5/ 9/ 7/ 1/ 3/ 2

Race comment
OVERVIEW: First of all, congrats and commendations to anybody that got $7.50 or $8 about RED HOT TOOTH (6). Plainly put, she should be fave, and a short priced fave at that. In her career Kari Males’ multiple G1-winner has led 23 times; on 16 of those occasions she has saluted, usually racing the elite. And something totally unforeseen would be required to preclude her from leading tonight. She was perhaps a shade below her absolute best in the Maori Mile first-up but that was her first run in six weeks and she was beaten by a touch over 2m in 1:54.2; not a bad way to be below your best. All things being equal she’ll lead, dictate and prevail but if we’re being conservative there are four other solid chances engaged. DANCE CRAZE (8) has been a half-step off her devastating peak all preparation but even at 90% she’s still a genuine star. If there are a few early fireworks she’ll menacingly cut into the leader’s margin late and can basically win anything when she’s in the mood. Her stablemate ALWAYS READY (10) clearly represents the X-factor but he’s still yet to prove he can draw to do labour and beat the elite while SUNDONS COURAGE (4) and MAGICOOL (5) are both screaming out to win and perhaps, with no McLovin or Majestuoso, finally get their chance. The big key for SUNDONS COURAGE (4) could well be the start .if he scores up sweetly and finds the pegs before RED HOT TOOTH (6) gets there his sectional stats suggest he’s perhaps the major threat. EARLY SPEED: 6 (Likely Leader) + 1,4,5? RATINGS: 6/ 8/ 10/ 4/ 5/ 9/ 7/ 1/ 3/ 2
