Melton R4 MERCURY80 (4TH HEAT)

Race comment

OVERVIEW: Innovation is wonderful and these Mercury80 heats have created plenty of organic interest but they should also come with an aspirin or disclaimer. Tonight we have a field of runners that almost all possess gate speed but who will rip and who will sit is honestly anybody’s guess. In an ideal world DIAMONDS N CASH (5) would have had one run this year to tell us where he’s at. If we were certain that bloke was ready to fire – and markets should give a pretty perfect guide – he may well be a moral. More often than not in these extreme short course races class will prevail if the talent edge is clear and DIAMONDS N CASH (5) is clearly better than these. It’s also comforting to know Andy Gath has a handle on these races having won three Stampedes, one with Caribbean Blaster and two with Maximan. If he’s not really for a gruelling six furlongs then the major threats are YORKSHIRE (2) who almost stole the opening heat of this series and – to a lesser degree – ZOLIVER (3) who has blazing gate speed when they opt to use it. That being said, of the fireworks are frenetic throughout then you couldn’t categorically rule out VAN MARA (6) and CHANGE THE PRINT (7) at likely better odds. EARLY SPEED: 2,3,5,6?7 + 4? RATINGS: 5/ 2/ 3/ 6/ 7/ 4/ 1
