Race comment
OVERVIEW: SMOOTH DEAL (11) was very impressive in his heat of this series when he led throughout and trounced his rivals by almost four lengths. He drops back to the second line but his last win indicated that he is getting back to his best form, which has seen him being competitive at Group level so he is worth an investment. ULTIMATE ME (9) did a good job to finish third in his heat considering he came from last and was the widest runner on the home turn in a leader dominated race. He follows behind the likely leader BRONSKI MOMENT (2) at the start so he should receive an economical run. BRONSKI MOMENT (2) was beautifully rated in the lead by John Caldow and held his rivals at bay when he scored narrowly over TOPHUT JOHNY (4) in his heat victory. He is drawn to lead again and should give another bold showing. SPORTS WRACK (7) settled three back on the markers and held his ground in the straight when third behind SMOOTH DEAL (11) at his first run since May. He boasts a consistent record and he should be fitter from his first up run. BLAZIN CRACKER (5) appeared to have his chance and failed to run on as expected when fourth in his heat but he was very strongly supported so he must be kept safe. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 6,7 RATINGS: 11/ 2,9/ 7/ 5/ 4,6,8

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SMOOTH DEAL (11) was very impressive in his heat of this series when he led throughout and trounced his rivals by almost four lengths. He drops back to the second line but his last win indicated that he is getting back to his best form, which has seen him being competitive at Group level so he is worth an investment. ULTIMATE ME (9) did a good job to finish third in his heat considering he came from last and was the widest runner on the home turn in a leader dominated race. He follows behind the likely leader BRONSKI MOMENT (2) at the start so he should receive an economical run. BRONSKI MOMENT (2) was beautifully rated in the lead by John Caldow and held his rivals at bay when he scored narrowly over TOPHUT JOHNY (4) in his heat victory. He is drawn to lead again and should give another bold showing. SPORTS WRACK (7) settled three back on the markers and held his ground in the straight when third behind SMOOTH DEAL (11) at his first run since May. He boasts a consistent record and he should be fitter from his first up run. BLAZIN CRACKER (5) appeared to have his chance and failed to run on as expected when fourth in his heat but he was very strongly supported so he must be kept safe. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 6,7 RATINGS: 11/ 2,9/ 7/ 5/ 4,6,8

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SMOOTH DEAL (11) was very impressive in his heat of this series when he led throughout and trounced his rivals by almost four lengths. He drops back to the second line but his last win indicated that he is getting back to his best form, which has seen him being competitive at Group level so he is worth an investment. ULTIMATE ME (9) did a good job to finish third in his heat considering he came from last and was the widest runner on the home turn in a leader dominated race. He follows behind the likely leader BRONSKI MOMENT (2) at the start so he should receive an economical run. BRONSKI MOMENT (2) was beautifully rated in the lead by John Caldow and held his rivals at bay when he scored narrowly over TOPHUT JOHNY (4) in his heat victory. He is drawn to lead again and should give another bold showing. SPORTS WRACK (7) settled three back on the markers and held his ground in the straight when third behind SMOOTH DEAL (11) at his first run since May. He boasts a consistent record and he should be fitter from his first up run. BLAZIN CRACKER (5) appeared to have his chance and failed to run on as expected when fourth in his heat but he was very strongly supported so he must be kept safe. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 6,7 RATINGS: 11/ 2,9/ 7/ 5/ 4,6,8

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SMOOTH DEAL (11) was very impressive in his heat of this series when he led throughout and trounced his rivals by almost four lengths. He drops back to the second line but his last win indicated that he is getting back to his best form, which has seen him being competitive at Group level so he is worth an investment. ULTIMATE ME (9) did a good job to finish third in his heat considering he came from last and was the widest runner on the home turn in a leader dominated race. He follows behind the likely leader BRONSKI MOMENT (2) at the start so he should receive an economical run. BRONSKI MOMENT (2) was beautifully rated in the lead by John Caldow and held his rivals at bay when he scored narrowly over TOPHUT JOHNY (4) in his heat victory. He is drawn to lead again and should give another bold showing. SPORTS WRACK (7) settled three back on the markers and held his ground in the straight when third behind SMOOTH DEAL (11) at his first run since May. He boasts a consistent record and he should be fitter from his first up run. BLAZIN CRACKER (5) appeared to have his chance and failed to run on as expected when fourth in his heat but he was very strongly supported so he must be kept safe. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 6,7 RATINGS: 11/ 2,9/ 7/ 5/ 4,6,8
