Race comment
OVERVIEW: More often than not when metro finals meet with preferential draws, the class differentials between front and back-row runners very much muddy the waters. That’s not quite the case tonight. Between them HULI NIEN (2), KRAFTY BART (4) and TANGO TARA (5) should employ their draws to dominate this Group 3 feature, particularly when you consider where they’ll lob in transit. Unlike many metro-level maps, this one seems relatively simple to assess. OZZIE BATTLER (3) crosses in a bound and hands up to KRAFTY BART (4) just as he did last weekend with TANGO TARA (5) parked and HULI NIEN (2) well placed to land one-one cover behind them. Should this map materialise it does look a race between KRAFTY BART (4) and HULI NIEN (2). Since joining Emma Stewart KRAFTY BART (4) has led six times for six wins so he’ll be brutally tough to beat but still rates narrowly beneath HULI NIEN (2) who is simply ablaze at present and couldn’t map better given his breathtaking turn of speed. TANGO TARA (5) is next best, but it would take a massive effort to breeze and succeed in a race this strong. Should something unforeseen happen and they break land-speed records in transit the blowout back-rowers are I CAST NO SHADOW (13), IDEALSOMEMAGIC (12) and DIAMONDS N CASH (10). EARLY SPEED: 4 (Likely Leader) + 3 (Fastest Beginner) + 5 + 1 RATINGS: 2/ 4/ 5/ 13/ 12/ 10/ 7/ 6/ 3/ 11/ 8/ 1

Race comment
OVERVIEW: More often than not when metro finals meet with preferential draws, the class differentials between front and back-row runners very much muddy the waters. That’s not quite the case tonight. Between them HULI NIEN (2), KRAFTY BART (4) and TANGO TARA (5) should employ their draws to dominate this Group 3 feature, particularly when you consider where they’ll lob in transit. Unlike many metro-level maps, this one seems relatively simple to assess. OZZIE BATTLER (3) crosses in a bound and hands up to KRAFTY BART (4) just as he did last weekend with TANGO TARA (5) parked and HULI NIEN (2) well placed to land one-one cover behind them. Should this map materialise it does look a race between KRAFTY BART (4) and HULI NIEN (2). Since joining Emma Stewart KRAFTY BART (4) has led six times for six wins so he’ll be brutally tough to beat but still rates narrowly beneath HULI NIEN (2) who is simply ablaze at present and couldn’t map better given his breathtaking turn of speed. TANGO TARA (5) is next best, but it would take a massive effort to breeze and succeed in a race this strong. Should something unforeseen happen and they break land-speed records in transit the blowout back-rowers are I CAST NO SHADOW (13), IDEALSOMEMAGIC (12) and DIAMONDS N CASH (10). EARLY SPEED: 4 (Likely Leader) + 3 (Fastest Beginner) + 5 + 1 RATINGS: 2/ 4/ 5/ 13/ 12/ 10/ 7/ 6/ 3/ 11/ 8/ 1

Race comment
OVERVIEW: More often than not when metro finals meet with preferential draws, the class differentials between front and back-row runners very much muddy the waters. That’s not quite the case tonight. Between them HULI NIEN (2), KRAFTY BART (4) and TANGO TARA (5) should employ their draws to dominate this Group 3 feature, particularly when you consider where they’ll lob in transit. Unlike many metro-level maps, this one seems relatively simple to assess. OZZIE BATTLER (3) crosses in a bound and hands up to KRAFTY BART (4) just as he did last weekend with TANGO TARA (5) parked and HULI NIEN (2) well placed to land one-one cover behind them. Should this map materialise it does look a race between KRAFTY BART (4) and HULI NIEN (2). Since joining Emma Stewart KRAFTY BART (4) has led six times for six wins so he’ll be brutally tough to beat but still rates narrowly beneath HULI NIEN (2) who is simply ablaze at present and couldn’t map better given his breathtaking turn of speed. TANGO TARA (5) is next best, but it would take a massive effort to breeze and succeed in a race this strong. Should something unforeseen happen and they break land-speed records in transit the blowout back-rowers are I CAST NO SHADOW (13), IDEALSOMEMAGIC (12) and DIAMONDS N CASH (10). EARLY SPEED: 4 (Likely Leader) + 3 (Fastest Beginner) + 5 + 1 RATINGS: 2/ 4/ 5/ 13/ 12/ 10/ 7/ 6/ 3/ 11/ 8/ 1

Race comment
OVERVIEW: More often than not when metro finals meet with preferential draws, the class differentials between front and back-row runners very much muddy the waters. That’s not quite the case tonight. Between them HULI NIEN (2), KRAFTY BART (4) and TANGO TARA (5) should employ their draws to dominate this Group 3 feature, particularly when you consider where they’ll lob in transit. Unlike many metro-level maps, this one seems relatively simple to assess. OZZIE BATTLER (3) crosses in a bound and hands up to KRAFTY BART (4) just as he did last weekend with TANGO TARA (5) parked and HULI NIEN (2) well placed to land one-one cover behind them. Should this map materialise it does look a race between KRAFTY BART (4) and HULI NIEN (2). Since joining Emma Stewart KRAFTY BART (4) has led six times for six wins so he’ll be brutally tough to beat but still rates narrowly beneath HULI NIEN (2) who is simply ablaze at present and couldn’t map better given his breathtaking turn of speed. TANGO TARA (5) is next best, but it would take a massive effort to breeze and succeed in a race this strong. Should something unforeseen happen and they break land-speed records in transit the blowout back-rowers are I CAST NO SHADOW (13), IDEALSOMEMAGIC (12) and DIAMONDS N CASH (10). EARLY SPEED: 4 (Likely Leader) + 3 (Fastest Beginner) + 5 + 1 RATINGS: 2/ 4/ 5/ 13/ 12/ 10/ 7/ 6/ 3/ 11/ 8/ 1

OVERVIEW: More often than not when metro finals meet with preferential draws, the class differentials between front and back-row runners very much muddy the waters. That’s not quite the case tonight. Between them HULI NIEN (2), KRAFTY BART (4) and TANGO TARA (5) should employ their draws to dominate this Group 3 feature, particularly when you consider where they’ll lob in transit. Unlike many metro-level maps, this one seems relatively simple to assess. OZZIE BATTLER (3) crosses in a bound and hands up to KRAFTY BART (4) just as he did last weekend with TANGO TARA (5) parked and HULI NIEN (2) well placed to land one-one cover behind them. Should this map materialise it does look a race between KRAFTY BART (4) and HULI NIEN (2). Since joining Emma Stewart KRAFTY BART (4) has led six times for six wins so he’ll be brutally tough to beat but still rates narrowly beneath HULI NIEN (2) who is simply ablaze at present and couldn’t map better given his breathtaking turn of speed. TANGO TARA (5) is next best, but it would take a massive effort to breeze and succeed in a race this strong. Should something unforeseen happen and they break land-speed records in transit the blowout back-rowers are I CAST NO SHADOW (13), IDEALSOMEMAGIC (12) and DIAMONDS N CASH (10). EARLY SPEED: 4 (Likely Leader) + 3 (Fastest Beginner) + 5 + 1 RATINGS: 2/ 4/ 5/ 13/ 12/ 10/ 7/ 6/ 3/ 11/ 8/ 1
