Race comment
OVERVIEW: The first leg of tonight’s Quad is a ripper race, with several permutations which may alter the result. Step one; despite leaving the gate a touch slower than normal last start, EVA MATEO (3) generally starts her races like she’s been shot out of a cannon. Last weekend, she chose to keep the front in a very strong mares-event, the Blossom Lady, and it didn’t work out well. She may adopt similar tactics here, but it’s far more likely she’ll find a helmet to follow. On face value that helmet will belong to Jack Laugher with OZZIE PLAYBOY (1) if he successfully effects the re-take, or Geoff Webster with TUPPENCE (4) if he charges over with Eva. Without really knowing which scenario will play out but being pretty sure that EVA MATEO (3) secures the perfect trip, she gets the nod as the safest betting option. With that in mind, her best result is potentially OZZIE PLAYBOY (1) effecting the re-take. There’s no doubt that bloke is flying at present and can easily win in front, but there is evidence he’s slightly superior over short trips and may lack the blazing pace to hold EVA MATEO (3) late. If TUPPENCE (4) gets the front then the race is on his racquet following an excellent fresh effort where they ran amazing time. If you think the race ends there, however, quickly think again. ROCKINGWITHSIERRA (7) is all quality and should be over the little fever she had a few weeks back, KISSMELVIS (8) gets a ripper trip here on the pegs and it’s far from absurd to think that LAMANDIER (2) or RADIUS (6) could win as well. EARLY SPEED: 3 (Fastest Beginner) + 1,4 + 6 RATINGS: 3/ 1/ 4/ 7/ 8/ 2/ 6/ 9/ 10/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: The first leg of tonight’s Quad is a ripper race, with several permutations which may alter the result. Step one; despite leaving the gate a touch slower than normal last start, EVA MATEO (3) generally starts her races like she’s been shot out of a cannon. Last weekend, she chose to keep the front in a very strong mares-event, the Blossom Lady, and it didn’t work out well. She may adopt similar tactics here, but it’s far more likely she’ll find a helmet to follow. On face value that helmet will belong to Jack Laugher with OZZIE PLAYBOY (1) if he successfully effects the re-take, or Geoff Webster with TUPPENCE (4) if he charges over with Eva. Without really knowing which scenario will play out but being pretty sure that EVA MATEO (3) secures the perfect trip, she gets the nod as the safest betting option. With that in mind, her best result is potentially OZZIE PLAYBOY (1) effecting the re-take. There’s no doubt that bloke is flying at present and can easily win in front, but there is evidence he’s slightly superior over short trips and may lack the blazing pace to hold EVA MATEO (3) late. If TUPPENCE (4) gets the front then the race is on his racquet following an excellent fresh effort where they ran amazing time. If you think the race ends there, however, quickly think again. ROCKINGWITHSIERRA (7) is all quality and should be over the little fever she had a few weeks back, KISSMELVIS (8) gets a ripper trip here on the pegs and it’s far from absurd to think that LAMANDIER (2) or RADIUS (6) could win as well. EARLY SPEED: 3 (Fastest Beginner) + 1,4 + 6 RATINGS: 3/ 1/ 4/ 7/ 8/ 2/ 6/ 9/ 10/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: The first leg of tonight’s Quad is a ripper race, with several permutations which may alter the result. Step one; despite leaving the gate a touch slower than normal last start, EVA MATEO (3) generally starts her races like she’s been shot out of a cannon. Last weekend, she chose to keep the front in a very strong mares-event, the Blossom Lady, and it didn’t work out well. She may adopt similar tactics here, but it’s far more likely she’ll find a helmet to follow. On face value that helmet will belong to Jack Laugher with OZZIE PLAYBOY (1) if he successfully effects the re-take, or Geoff Webster with TUPPENCE (4) if he charges over with Eva. Without really knowing which scenario will play out but being pretty sure that EVA MATEO (3) secures the perfect trip, she gets the nod as the safest betting option. With that in mind, her best result is potentially OZZIE PLAYBOY (1) effecting the re-take. There’s no doubt that bloke is flying at present and can easily win in front, but there is evidence he’s slightly superior over short trips and may lack the blazing pace to hold EVA MATEO (3) late. If TUPPENCE (4) gets the front then the race is on his racquet following an excellent fresh effort where they ran amazing time. If you think the race ends there, however, quickly think again. ROCKINGWITHSIERRA (7) is all quality and should be over the little fever she had a few weeks back, KISSMELVIS (8) gets a ripper trip here on the pegs and it’s far from absurd to think that LAMANDIER (2) or RADIUS (6) could win as well. EARLY SPEED: 3 (Fastest Beginner) + 1,4 + 6 RATINGS: 3/ 1/ 4/ 7/ 8/ 2/ 6/ 9/ 10/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: The first leg of tonight’s Quad is a ripper race, with several permutations which may alter the result. Step one; despite leaving the gate a touch slower than normal last start, EVA MATEO (3) generally starts her races like she’s been shot out of a cannon. Last weekend, she chose to keep the front in a very strong mares-event, the Blossom Lady, and it didn’t work out well. She may adopt similar tactics here, but it’s far more likely she’ll find a helmet to follow. On face value that helmet will belong to Jack Laugher with OZZIE PLAYBOY (1) if he successfully effects the re-take, or Geoff Webster with TUPPENCE (4) if he charges over with Eva. Without really knowing which scenario will play out but being pretty sure that EVA MATEO (3) secures the perfect trip, she gets the nod as the safest betting option. With that in mind, her best result is potentially OZZIE PLAYBOY (1) effecting the re-take. There’s no doubt that bloke is flying at present and can easily win in front, but there is evidence he’s slightly superior over short trips and may lack the blazing pace to hold EVA MATEO (3) late. If TUPPENCE (4) gets the front then the race is on his racquet following an excellent fresh effort where they ran amazing time. If you think the race ends there, however, quickly think again. ROCKINGWITHSIERRA (7) is all quality and should be over the little fever she had a few weeks back, KISSMELVIS (8) gets a ripper trip here on the pegs and it’s far from absurd to think that LAMANDIER (2) or RADIUS (6) could win as well. EARLY SPEED: 3 (Fastest Beginner) + 1,4 + 6 RATINGS: 3/ 1/ 4/ 7/ 8/ 2/ 6/ 9/ 10/ 5
