Race comment
OVERVIEW: We have a slightly uncomfortable situation in tonight’s final event. Unless you’ve been on a personal ban you’d be well aware that FLYING ART (9) is, well, flying and that based on his last two runs this race looks his for the taking. That being said he could be forced to make a mid-race move over a mile and unless that’s your thing it ain’t an easy trick. Now that rant is over we are tipping FLYING ART (9) comfortably clear of STEFSASTAR (5) who was doing everything wrong but still travelling ok before clipping the sulky he was following and breaking stride first up from a long break. If he leads and runs along we may have a race on our hands. Best of the rest are KISSMEELVIS (2) from the perfect draw and WILLEM (11) who has class on his side and beat some nice horses at the Shep trials in preparation for his return. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Likely Leader) + 2,3,6?,7? RATINGS: 9/ 5/ 2/ 11/ 10/ 3/ 7/ 8/ 6/ 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: We have a slightly uncomfortable situation in tonight’s final event. Unless you’ve been on a personal ban you’d be well aware that FLYING ART (9) is, well, flying and that based on his last two runs this race looks his for the taking. That being said he could be forced to make a mid-race move over a mile and unless that’s your thing it ain’t an easy trick. Now that rant is over we are tipping FLYING ART (9) comfortably clear of STEFSASTAR (5) who was doing everything wrong but still travelling ok before clipping the sulky he was following and breaking stride first up from a long break. If he leads and runs along we may have a race on our hands. Best of the rest are KISSMEELVIS (2) from the perfect draw and WILLEM (11) who has class on his side and beat some nice horses at the Shep trials in preparation for his return. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Likely Leader) + 2,3,6?,7? RATINGS: 9/ 5/ 2/ 11/ 10/ 3/ 7/ 8/ 6/ 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: We have a slightly uncomfortable situation in tonight’s final event. Unless you’ve been on a personal ban you’d be well aware that FLYING ART (9) is, well, flying and that based on his last two runs this race looks his for the taking. That being said he could be forced to make a mid-race move over a mile and unless that’s your thing it ain’t an easy trick. Now that rant is over we are tipping FLYING ART (9) comfortably clear of STEFSASTAR (5) who was doing everything wrong but still travelling ok before clipping the sulky he was following and breaking stride first up from a long break. If he leads and runs along we may have a race on our hands. Best of the rest are KISSMEELVIS (2) from the perfect draw and WILLEM (11) who has class on his side and beat some nice horses at the Shep trials in preparation for his return. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Likely Leader) + 2,3,6?,7? RATINGS: 9/ 5/ 2/ 11/ 10/ 3/ 7/ 8/ 6/ 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: We have a slightly uncomfortable situation in tonight’s final event. Unless you’ve been on a personal ban you’d be well aware that FLYING ART (9) is, well, flying and that based on his last two runs this race looks his for the taking. That being said he could be forced to make a mid-race move over a mile and unless that’s your thing it ain’t an easy trick. Now that rant is over we are tipping FLYING ART (9) comfortably clear of STEFSASTAR (5) who was doing everything wrong but still travelling ok before clipping the sulky he was following and breaking stride first up from a long break. If he leads and runs along we may have a race on our hands. Best of the rest are KISSMEELVIS (2) from the perfect draw and WILLEM (11) who has class on his side and beat some nice horses at the Shep trials in preparation for his return. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Likely Leader) + 2,3,6?,7? RATINGS: 9/ 5/ 2/ 11/ 10/ 3/ 7/ 8/ 6/ 4
