Race comment
OVERVIEW: Alright; let’s recognize this race for what it is. It’s always worrying when we allow a horse to infect our logic to such a level that we ignore his claims when an appropriate race avails itself. On times, stats and maps STRUVE (3) should probably lead and win this contest. And is he wasn’t tackling two rivals at the peak of their powers we’d happily acknowledge his superiority despite his many indiscretions. That being said he is tackling two very smart rivals we can trust to a much higher threshold. TORRID SAINT (6) will probably go forward here even with STRUVE (3) all set to lead. If he does and he’s left parked life will be tough. If he gets cover then he’s the top-rater, narrowly clear of CRIME WRITER (7) who is racing insanely well but has the unenviable options of going back and giving away – potentially – too much ground or rolling forward and parking out against his own best pattern. STRUVE (3) is the other runner that obviously goes into all Quad combos and he may well blow them away while there ar a host of other intriguing runners with moderate winning hopes such as SAHARA SIROCCO (4) and JAMIESON STEELE (9) who can both improve sharply at their second runs back from breaks. EARLY SPEED: 3 (Likely Leader) + 1,5,6,7? RATINGS: 5/ 11/ 8/ 4/ 10/ 7/ 9/ 6/ 1/ 2

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Alright; let’s recognize this race for what it is. It’s always worrying when we allow a horse to infect our logic to such a level that we ignore his claims when an appropriate race avails itself. On times, stats and maps STRUVE (3) should probably lead and win this contest. And is he wasn’t tackling two rivals at the peak of their powers we’d happily acknowledge his superiority despite his many indiscretions. That being said he is tackling two very smart rivals we can trust to a much higher threshold. TORRID SAINT (6) will probably go forward here even with STRUVE (3) all set to lead. If he does and he’s left parked life will be tough. If he gets cover then he’s the top-rater, narrowly clear of CRIME WRITER (7) who is racing insanely well but has the unenviable options of going back and giving away – potentially – too much ground or rolling forward and parking out against his own best pattern. STRUVE (3) is the other runner that obviously goes into all Quad combos and he may well blow them away while there ar a host of other intriguing runners with moderate winning hopes such as SAHARA SIROCCO (4) and JAMIESON STEELE (9) who can both improve sharply at their second runs back from breaks. EARLY SPEED: 3 (Likely Leader) + 1,5,6,7? RATINGS: 5/ 11/ 8/ 4/ 10/ 7/ 9/ 6/ 1/ 2

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Alright; let’s recognize this race for what it is. It’s always worrying when we allow a horse to infect our logic to such a level that we ignore his claims when an appropriate race avails itself. On times, stats and maps STRUVE (3) should probably lead and win this contest. And is he wasn’t tackling two rivals at the peak of their powers we’d happily acknowledge his superiority despite his many indiscretions. That being said he is tackling two very smart rivals we can trust to a much higher threshold. TORRID SAINT (6) will probably go forward here even with STRUVE (3) all set to lead. If he does and he’s left parked life will be tough. If he gets cover then he’s the top-rater, narrowly clear of CRIME WRITER (7) who is racing insanely well but has the unenviable options of going back and giving away – potentially – too much ground or rolling forward and parking out against his own best pattern. STRUVE (3) is the other runner that obviously goes into all Quad combos and he may well blow them away while there ar a host of other intriguing runners with moderate winning hopes such as SAHARA SIROCCO (4) and JAMIESON STEELE (9) who can both improve sharply at their second runs back from breaks. EARLY SPEED: 3 (Likely Leader) + 1,5,6,7? RATINGS: 5/ 11/ 8/ 4/ 10/ 7/ 9/ 6/ 1/ 2
