Race comment
OVERVIEW: To say this first Metro Pace qualifier is the stronger of tonight’s two heats would be like saying Mike Tyson is stronger than Eddie Betts. Despite the depth of talent engaged however, it’s primarily a one-horse rodeo. Anyone that was on track Shepparton Cup night and heard David Moran say PATSBEACHSTORM (9) was his favourite horse (this bloke has overseen the career of Lochinvar Art) were warned of what would soon follow. His NSW Derby triumph was frightening in nature and with his obscene talent the only way he gets rolled is if ‘Sal’ doesn’t want a gutbuster fresh up tonight. Should conservative tactics be adopted on the 3YO machine then his obvious problem is YIANNI (5). That guy has always been a nice horse but when he was sent out at $2.90 to beat Pacifico Dream in an APG heat recently you knew he’d come back much better than before. He’ll work a little early to get there, but the front is surely his and if he gets a breather he can rip home in splits that may ask questions of the likely short-priced fave. Should you side with the fave and choose to play exotics the only other runners really requiring inclusion are SANTA CASA BEACH (4) who is fresh up but has trialled well and MYNAMEISJEFF (1) who may kick up early and only hand the lead to YIANNI (5) tonight. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Likely Leader) + 1,4 + 3 RATINGS: 9/ 5/ 4/ 1/ 10/ 3/ 7/ 8/ 6/ 2

Race comment
OVERVIEW: To say this first Metro Pace qualifier is the stronger of tonight’s two heats would be like saying Mike Tyson is stronger than Eddie Betts. Despite the depth of talent engaged however, it’s primarily a one-horse rodeo. Anyone that was on track Shepparton Cup night and heard David Moran say PATSBEACHSTORM (9) was his favourite horse (this bloke has overseen the career of Lochinvar Art) were warned of what would soon follow. His NSW Derby triumph was frightening in nature and with his obscene talent the only way he gets rolled is if ‘Sal’ doesn’t want a gutbuster fresh up tonight. Should conservative tactics be adopted on the 3YO machine then his obvious problem is YIANNI (5). That guy has always been a nice horse but when he was sent out at $2.90 to beat Pacifico Dream in an APG heat recently you knew he’d come back much better than before. He’ll work a little early to get there, but the front is surely his and if he gets a breather he can rip home in splits that may ask questions of the likely short-priced fave. Should you side with the fave and choose to play exotics the only other runners really requiring inclusion are SANTA CASA BEACH (4) who is fresh up but has trialled well and MYNAMEISJEFF (1) who may kick up early and only hand the lead to YIANNI (5) tonight. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Likely Leader) + 1,4 + 3 RATINGS: 9/ 5/ 4/ 1/ 10/ 3/ 7/ 8/ 6/ 2

OVERVIEW: To say this first Metro Pace qualifier is the stronger of tonight’s two heats would be like saying Mike Tyson is stronger than Eddie Betts. Despite the depth of talent engaged however, it’s primarily a one-horse rodeo. Anyone that was on track Shepparton Cup night and heard David Moran say PATSBEACHSTORM (9) was his favourite horse (this bloke has overseen the career of Lochinvar Art) were warned of what would soon follow. His NSW Derby triumph was frightening in nature and with his obscene talent the only way he gets rolled is if ‘Sal’ doesn’t want a gutbuster fresh up tonight. Should conservative tactics be adopted on the 3YO machine then his obvious problem is YIANNI (5). That guy has always been a nice horse but when he was sent out at $2.90 to beat Pacifico Dream in an APG heat recently you knew he’d come back much better than before. He’ll work a little early to get there, but the front is surely his and if he gets a breather he can rip home in splits that may ask questions of the likely short-priced fave. Should you side with the fave and choose to play exotics the only other runners really requiring inclusion are SANTA CASA BEACH (4) who is fresh up but has trialled well and MYNAMEISJEFF (1) who may kick up early and only hand the lead to YIANNI (5) tonight. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Likely Leader) + 1,4 + 3 RATINGS: 9/ 5/ 4/ 1/ 10/ 3/ 7/ 8/ 6/ 2
