Race comment
OVERVIEW: Just when you thought it was safe to open you favourite WSP and simply bet with confidence, the silhouette of tonight’s fast-class trot appears in your mirror. There’s simply no room to analyse all the potential scenarios which may materialise here, though one we must consider is whether TRAVEL BUG (3) would opt to lead, or trail an appropriate rival should he predictably work to the front? The way this contest looks to play-out it’s marginally more likely that Ryan Sanderson would ultimately relent; and if he did that would likely leave NEPHEW OF SONOKO (4) in front and ULTIMATE STRIDE (6) sitting parked. And should this scenario transpire NEPHW OF SONOKO (4) should – based on his recent, career-best form, run them off their legs. Clearly the major threat remains ULTIMATE STRIDE (6), though it must be mentioned, albeit speculatively, that watching a horse that’s suffered injuries like him capitulate late last weekend, does, potentially, give us cause for pause. If TRAVEL BUG (3) leads without pressure or trails with plenty, he can also bounce back her, but it’s another race where almost every runner can make claims including the consistently eye-catching ROBBIE ROYALE (7) and also BRANDLO PRINCE (5).

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Just when you thought it was safe to open you favourite WSP and simply bet with confidence, the silhouette of tonight’s fast-class trot appears in your mirror. There’s simply no room to analyse all the potential scenarios which may materialise here, though one we must consider is whether TRAVEL BUG (3) would opt to lead, or trail an appropriate rival should he predictably work to the front? The way this contest looks to play-out it’s marginally more likely that Ryan Sanderson would ultimately relent; and if he did that would likely leave NEPHEW OF SONOKO (4) in front and ULTIMATE STRIDE (6) sitting parked. And should this scenario transpire NEPHW OF SONOKO (4) should – based on his recent, career-best form, run them off their legs. Clearly the major threat remains ULTIMATE STRIDE (6), though it must be mentioned, albeit speculatively, that watching a horse that’s suffered injuries like him capitulate late last weekend, does, potentially, give us cause for pause. If TRAVEL BUG (3) leads without pressure or trails with plenty, he can also bounce back her, but it’s another race where almost every runner can make claims including the consistently eye-catching ROBBIE ROYALE (7) and also BRANDLO PRINCE (5).

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Just when you thought it was safe to open you favourite WSP and simply bet with confidence, the silhouette of tonight’s fast-class trot appears in your mirror. There’s simply no room to analyse all the potential scenarios which may materialise here, though one we must consider is whether TRAVEL BUG (3) would opt to lead, or trail an appropriate rival should he predictably work to the front? The way this contest looks to play-out it’s marginally more likely that Ryan Sanderson would ultimately relent; and if he did that would likely leave NEPHEW OF SONOKO (4) in front and ULTIMATE STRIDE (6) sitting parked. And should this scenario transpire NEPHW OF SONOKO (4) should – based on his recent, career-best form, run them off their legs. Clearly the major threat remains ULTIMATE STRIDE (6), though it must be mentioned, albeit speculatively, that watching a horse that’s suffered injuries like him capitulate late last weekend, does, potentially, give us cause for pause. If TRAVEL BUG (3) leads without pressure or trails with plenty, he can also bounce back her, but it’s another race where almost every runner can make claims including the consistently eye-catching ROBBIE ROYALE (7) and also BRANDLO PRINCE (5). EARLY SPEED: 2,3,4 + 1,5,6 RATINGS: 4/ 6/ 3/ 7/ 5/ 2/ 1
