OVERVIEW: Three rising stars are joined by a brilliant but tempestuous talent and a veteran interloper in this delicious start to tonight’s Quad. Every time pundits have tried to poke holes in the quality of JIMMY THE IRISHMAN’S (2) credentials he’s humbled them with his elite speed and versatility. Question marks remain around his genuine gate speed as there were no challengers for the front when he led from gate one two starts back but it may not matter. In all likelihood he’ll cross polemarker CHECK IN (1) and from then on, he’s well placed. If he leads, then one cheap quarter will likely win him the race and if he trails a horse like KRAFTY BART (6) he could well possess the race to run on by regardless. With all that on the table however, he’s no moral stepping up in grade once more. KRAFTY BART (6) has always had exceptional talent and now has most of the manners to fulfil his obvious potential. If he gets across Jimmy, then it’s game on and if he goes forward and gets cover from stablemate STRUVE (7) the contest is still there to be won. With all their brimming potential those two pacers also need to resist STRUVE (7) himself who has raced at a higher level and seems to be in a good headspace while SAHARA SIROCCO (8) will need more fortune than that top trio form an ugly alley but can prevail if he gets it. The final piece of the puzzle is former Kiwi/NSW veteran CHECK IN (1). It’s tough to see him winning but he had been contesting some serious races at Menangle before popping down south and Wayne Potter has a wonderful record with these types of horses.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Three rising stars are joined by a brilliant but tempestuous talent and a veteran interloper in this delicious start to tonight’s Quad. Every time pundits have tried to poke holes in the quality of JIMMY THE IRISHMAN’S (2) credentials he’s humbled them with his elite speed and versatility. Question marks remain around his genuine gate speed as there were no challengers for the front when he led from gate one two starts back but it may not matter. In all likelihood he’ll cross polemarker CHECK IN (1) and from then on, he’s well placed. If he leads, then one cheap quarter will likely win him the race and if he trails a horse like KRAFTY BART (6) he could well possess the race to run on by regardless. With all that on the table however, he’s no moral stepping up in grade once more. KRAFTY BART (6) has always had exceptional talent and now has most of the manners to fulfil his obvious potential. If he gets across Jimmy, then it’s game on and if he goes forward and gets cover from stablemate STRUVE (7) the contest is still there to be won. With all their brimming potential those two pacers also need to resist STRUVE (7) himself who has raced at a higher level and seems to be in a good headspace while SAHARA SIROCCO (8) will need more fortune than that top trio form an ugly alley but can prevail if he gets it. The final piece of the puzzle is former Kiwi/NSW veteran CHECK IN (1). It’s tough to see him winning but he had been contesting some serious races at Menangle before popping down south and Wayne Potter has a wonderful record with these types of horses.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Three rising stars are joined by a brilliant but tempestuous talent and a veteran interloper in this delicious start to tonight’s Quad. Every time pundits have tried to poke holes in the quality of JIMMY THE IRISHMAN’S (2) credentials he’s humbled them with his elite speed and versatility. Question marks remain around his genuine gate speed as there were no challengers for the front when he led from gate one two starts back but it may not matter. In all likelihood he’ll cross polemarker CHECK IN (1) and from then on, he’s well placed. If he leads, then one cheap quarter will likely win him the race and if he trails a horse like KRAFTY BART (6) he could well possess the race to run on by regardless. With all that on the table however, he’s no moral stepping up in grade once more. KRAFTY BART (6) has always had exceptional talent and now has most of the manners to fulfil his obvious potential. If he gets across Jimmy, then it’s game on and if he goes forward and gets cover from stablemate STRUVE (7) the contest is still there to be won. With all their brimming potential those two pacers also need to resist STRUVE (7) himself who has raced at a higher level and seems to be in a good headspace while SAHARA SIROCCO (8) will need more fortune than that top trio form an ugly alley but can prevail if he gets it. The final piece of the puzzle is former Kiwi/NSW veteran CHECK IN (1). It’s tough to see him winning but he had been contesting some serious races at Menangle before popping down south and Wayne Potter has a wonderful record with these types of horses.
