Race comment
OVERVIEW: A six-year doctorate in squareagiting form wouldn’t touch the sides in helping anyone unpack this short course trot. Plainly put, this is a match-up between class horses with poor draws and moderate form tackling less gifted rivals with better recent numbers and better likely roles. Confusing the issue further is the fact that those latter players all emerge from a contest last weekend where a Queen Sized quilt covered the first six runners home. Ultimately, first serve lies with fast-starting pole marker ONE OVER DA SON (1). In that referenced contest last weekend, he was given a major hope despite a poor gate, and with the likelihood he’ll lead tonight the race is on his racquet. The fact is, however, dangers lurk at every turn. If she’s in the mood MADENA SKY (7) can roll forward and use her superior experience over short course journeys, while WHIZZBANG DAN (3) and former gun youngster ANDOVER SUN (4) were both flat-out better than our top tip last weekend. Of the ‘class’ runners, most interest probably lies with VARIANCE (8) and DYNAMIC LEGACY (5). EARLY SPEED: 1,3,5?,6? + 2,7? RATINGS: 1/ 7/ 3/ 4/ 8/ 5/ 2/ 10/ 6/ 9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: A six-year doctorate in squareagiting form wouldn’t touch the sides in helping anyone unpack this short course trot. Plainly put, this is a match-up between class horses with poor draws and moderate form tackling less gifted rivals with better recent numbers and better likely roles. Confusing the issue further is the fact that those latter players all emerge from a contest last weekend where a Queen Sized quilt covered the first six runners home. Ultimately, first serve lies with fast-starting pole marker ONE OVER DA SON (1). In that referenced contest last weekend, he was given a major hope despite a poor gate, and with the likelihood he’ll lead tonight the race is on his racquet. The fact is, however, dangers lurk at every turn. If she’s in the mood MADENA SKY (7) can roll forward and use her superior experience over short course journeys, while WHIZZBANG DAN (3) and former gun youngster ANDOVER SUN (4) were both flat-out better than our top tip last weekend. Of the ‘class’ runners, most interest probably lies with VARIANCE (8) and DYNAMIC LEGACY (5). EARLY SPEED: 1,3,5?,6? + 2,7? RATINGS: 1/ 7/ 3/ 4/ 8/ 5/ 2/ 10/ 6/ 9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: A six-year doctorate in squareagiting form wouldn’t touch the sides in helping anyone unpack this short course trot. Plainly put, this is a match-up between class horses with poor draws and moderate form tackling less gifted rivals with better recent numbers and better likely roles. Confusing the issue further is the fact that those latter players all emerge from a contest last weekend where a Queen Sized quilt covered the first six runners home. Ultimately, first serve lies with fast-starting pole marker ONE OVER DA SON (1). In that referenced contest last weekend, he was given a major hope despite a poor gate, and with the likelihood he’ll lead tonight the race is on his racquet. The fact is, however, dangers lurk at every turn. If she’s in the mood MADENA SKY (7) can roll forward and use her superior experience over short course journeys, while WHIZZBANG DAN (3) and former gun youngster ANDOVER SUN (4) were both flat-out better than our top tip last weekend. Of the ‘class’ runners, most interest probably lies with VARIANCE (8) and DYNAMIC LEGACY (5). EARLY SPEED: 1,3,5?,6? + 2,7? RATINGS: 1/ 7/ 3/ 4/ 8/ 5/ 2/ 10/ 6/ 9

OVERVIEW: A six-year doctorate in squareagiting form wouldn’t touch the sides in helping anyone unpack this short course trot. Plainly put, this is a match-up between class horses with poor draws and moderate form tackling less gifted rivals with better recent numbers and better likely roles. Confusing the issue further is the fact that those latter players all emerge from a contest last weekend where a Queen Sized quilt covered the first six runners home. Ultimately, first serve lies with fast-starting pole marker ONE OVER DA SON (1). In that referenced contest last weekend, he was given a major hope despite a poor gate, and with the likelihood he’ll lead tonight the race is on his racquet. The fact is, however, dangers lurk at every turn. If she’s in the mood MADENA SKY (7) can roll forward and use her superior experience over short course journeys, while WHIZZBANG DAN (3) and former gun youngster ANDOVER SUN (4) were both flat-out better than our top tip last weekend.
