OVERVIEW: With SPARKLING SUCCESS (8) acting as the only established top-liner in this feature trot and with that fellow drawn as the only second line runner we have a mist intriguing contest on our hands. Realistically, the map can probably only go one of two ways. Despite not being the fastest beginner of all time rising star POWDERKEG (1) should lead. At least initially he should be joined in the breeze by MONARO MARO (6). The only confusing aspect of the situation is whether SPARKLING SUCCESS (8) will trail through and play for cheap runs or drag back early and whip around to the chair. Either way we’re very narrowly leaning toward MONARO MARO (6) who is strong enough to park and salute but may only be better placed should cover arrive. SPARKLING SUCCESS (8) is next best and with perfect luck may blow them away while POWDERKEG (1) is the other huge winning chance if he bounces back from a very disappointing first-up run. That being said the best bet of all could be something one by three on PANTZUP (5) who has been flying most of this campaign and will be far better odds than the other winning hopes.

OVERVIEW: With SPARKLING SUCCESS (8) acting as the only established top-liner in this feature trot and with that fellow drawn as the only second line runner we have a mist intriguing contest on our hands. Realistically, the map can probably only go one of two ways. Despite not being the fastest beginner of all time rising star POWDERKEG (1) should lead. At least initially he should be joined in the breeze by MONARO MARO (6). The only confusing aspect of the situation is whether SPARKLING SUCCESS (8) will trail through and play for cheap runs or drag back early and whip around to the chair. Either way we’re very narrowly leaning toward MONARO MARO (6) who is strong enough to park and salute but may only be better placed should cover arrive. SPARKLING SUCCESS (8) is next best and with perfect luck may blow them away while POWDERKEG (1) is the other huge winning chance if he bounces back from a very disappointing first-up run. That being said the best bet of all could be something one by three on PANTZUP (5) who has been flying most of this campaign and will be far better odds than the other winning hopes.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: With SPARKLING SUCCESS (8) acting as the only established top-liner in this feature trot and with that fellow drawn as the only second line runner we have a mist intriguing contest on our hands. Realistically, the map can probably only go one of two ways. Despite not being the fastest beginner of all time rising star POWDERKEG (1) should lead. At least initially he should be joined in the breeze by MONARO MARO (6). The only confusing aspect of the situation is whether SPARKLING SUCCESS (8) will trail through and play for cheap runs or drag back early and whip around to the chair. Either way we’re very narrowly leaning toward MONARO MARO (6) who is strong enough to park and salute but may only be better placed should cover arrive. SPARKLING SUCCESS (8) is next best and with perfect luck may blow them away while POWDERKEG (1) is the other huge winning chance if he bounces back from a very disappointing first-up run. That being said the best bet of all could be something one by three on PANTZUP (5) who has been flying most of this campaign and will be far better odds than the other winning hopes.
