Melton R2 COGS RISING STARS PACE (1ST HEAT)

Race comment

OVERVIEW: If Honolua Bay has aspirations of becoming an enigma he should hold STRUVE’S (3) beer. On his right day this bloke can tease you into thinking he’s open class material. On his wrong day you wish you’d never met him. The key for STRUVE (3) tonight is the painfully easy lead he’s likely to lob. When landing on the lure and dictating his own terms the likely hot favourite is almost unbeatable so unless some measure of unforeseen pressure is injected into the contest, he should lead and win. On class and potential that fellow’s only two threats are TINDER SURPRISE (7) and JILLIBY LORENZO (4). TINDER SURPRISE (7) isn’t quite as mercurial as STRUVE (3) but he also has his quirks. It could be argued that he went too well when splitting Soextra and Pacifico Dream in a Super Series heat first-up given he hasn’t replicated that brilliance in his three runs since. The signs were good when he sprinted sharply to win last time out but also worrying with the way he switched off late and if he’s saved for one run late he task may be too much. JILLIBY LORENZO (4) is arguably the third most gifted but probably most reliable of the top trio. He went super rating 1:52.2 for the short trip two back and confirmed that was no fluke finishing third in the Hamilton Cup last start almost 6m clear of the favourite here tonight. Offer him a guernsey in staggered Early Quads at least. Nothing else can lay claims to being realistic winning hopes but almost everything can place headlined by BELITTLED (9) and HEREHECOMES (8). EARLY SPEED: 3 (Likely Leader) + 2,6? RATINGS: 3/ 7/ 4/ 9/ 8/ 2/ 1/ 5/ 6
