Race comment
OVERVIEW: You almost couldn’t fathom a more mysterious or intriguing six-horse Claimer than this one tonight. The first question one must pose is who will find the front? And the likely answer is ARDEN VOYAGER (1). Despite his electric gate speed VANDANTA (5) will likely take a softer option while BONCEL BENJAMIN (6) is also electric early but couldn’t cross ARDEN VOYAGER (1) last time they met on March 27. If ARDEN VOYAGER (1) does lead, one thing is almost guaranteed; they’ll run serious time. The last four times Andy Gath’s mercurial 5YO has led and won over middle trips he’s rated 1:54.7, 1:54.9, 1:55.2 and 1:55.2. Incredible when you think about it. The upshot of this info is that those – if any - racing off pegs here have almost no hope and that GLENAVRIL KING (2) looks beautifully placed as the almost certain trailer in transit. That bloke was flying a couple of months back. He lost his way for two runs but went a lot better last weekend and will love sitting behind a hot speed given 3 of his 12 wins have been secured from that very role. Without doubt the hardest to beat will be ARDEN VOYAGER (1) if he’s in the mood. He has won when leading no fewer than 10 times and the mile rates listed above indicate how devastating he can be when his mind is on the job. Should the map play a lesser role than expected then the other hopes are BONCEL BENJAMIN (6) who has gone to a new level this prep and VANDANTA (5) who’s last two in top company have been superb. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Potential Leader) + 6 + 2?,5? RATINGS: 2/ 1/ 6/ 5/ 4/ 3

Race comment
OVERVIEW: You almost couldn’t fathom a more mysterious or intriguing six-horse Claimer than this one tonight. The first question one must pose is who will find the front? And the likely answer is ARDEN VOYAGER (1). Despite his electric gate speed VANDANTA (5) will likely take a softer option while BONCEL BENJAMIN (6) is also electric early but couldn’t cross ARDEN VOYAGER (1) last time they met on March 27. If ARDEN VOYAGER (1) does lead, one thing is almost guaranteed; they’ll run serious time. The last four times Andy Gath’s mercurial 5YO has led and won over middle trips he’s rated 1:54.7, 1:54.9, 1:55.2 and 1:55.2. Incredible when you think about it. The upshot of this info is that those – if any - racing off pegs here have almost no hope and that GLENAVRIL KING (2) looks beautifully placed as the almost certain trailer in transit. That bloke was flying a couple of months back. He lost his way for two runs but went a lot better last weekend and will love sitting behind a hot speed given 3 of his 12 wins have been secured from that very role. Without doubt the hardest to beat will be ARDEN VOYAGER (1) if he’s in the mood. He has won when leading no fewer than 10 times and the mile rates listed above indicate how devastating he can be when his mind is on the job. Should the map play a lesser role than expected then the other hopes are BONCEL BENJAMIN (6) who has gone to a new level this prep and VANDANTA (5) who’s last two in top company have been superb. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Potential Leader) + 6 + 2?,5? RATINGS: 2/ 1/ 6/ 5/ 4/ 3
