Melton R3 GARRARDS HORSE & HOUND PACE

Race comment

  OVERVIEW: The conundrums continue here – and we’re not talking about those scattered nine-letter puzzles at the end of Letters and Numbers – though tactical dilemmas at metro level are arguably tougher to solve. Despite the presence of reasonable fast-starter RELENTLESS ME (2) drawn inside her, mobile-following rocket ship EVA MATEO (6) should cross this lot for fun. The last 11 times she’s found the pegs at race-level, Peter Manning’s speedy daughter of Alta Christiano has held the top 7 times and relented on four occasions. Given the short-course conditions, we suspect she’ll maintain her early advantage. Should that scenario, only two things matter; will she cop significant mid-race heat, and how forward is potentially outstanding mare IM OFF N GONE (7). If EVA MATEO (6) dictates terms through the first four furlongs, the race is on her racquet, and, as a result, we’re rating her narrowly on top. With that on record, any market moves for IM OFF N GONE (7) should be monitored the way you’d monitor a sleeping child. Sadly, due to technology’s many failings, there’s no findable footage of that mare’s recent trial but Dean Braun is a master at preparing horses for whichever target he chooses, and if he’s chosen this then her class will likely prevail. The only other major winning chance is RELENTLESS ME (2) though all her wins have come in front so she’d either need to lead outright or affect a re-take for success while perpetual Black-Booker VINCENZINA (4) and the eternally luckless PRAY TELL (5) have knockout claims should this event, against expectation, be staged in upside-down fashion.   EARLY SPEED: 6 (Fastest Beginner & Potential Leader) + 2 + 5 RATINGS: 6/ 7/ 2/ 4/ 5/ 1/ 3
