Race comment
OVERVIEW: Nothing frightens form analysts more than contests where most, if not all, horses and connections believe they can win. There are several such events at HQ tonight, including the first. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the formative furlong here will be crucial. Back in his Sunraysia days THOMAS HEIGHTS (4) had super early speed, and the last four times he’s led at race level, he’s also been the winner. If Kate Gath can rip that bloke out after the start and pounce upon the lead, this opening event is squarely on his racquet. If not, however, this race opens up. Should they charge through the opening quarter without THOMAS HEIGHTS (4) finding the top then second-row runners MAGIC MIKE (9) and JEREMY WELLS (10) may well get their shot. The major obstacle for our top tip early is MONSIEUR DELACOUR (3). Team Clarke don’t employ his early pace that often these days but could see this as their chance, and if they do, he can be dangerous, as can REACTOR FACTOR (1) who has placed 6 of 7 times he’s lobbed the trail in transit.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Nothing frightens form analysts more than contests where most, if not all, horses and connections believe they can win. There are several such events at HQ tonight, including the first. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the formative furlong here will be crucial. Back in his Sunraysia days THOMAS HEIGHTS (4) had super early speed, and the last four times he’s led at race level, he’s also been the winner. If Kate Gath can rip that bloke out after the start and pounce upon the lead, this opening event is squarely on his racquet. If not, however, this race opens up. Should they charge through the opening quarter without THOMAS HEIGHTS (4) finding the top then second-row runners MAGIC MIKE (9) and JEREMY WELLS (10) may well get their shot. The major obstacle for our top tip early is MONSIEUR DELACOUR (3). Team Clarke don’t employ his early pace that often these days but could see this as their chance, and if they do, he can be dangerous, as can REACTOR FACTOR (1) who has placed 6 of 7 times he’s lobbed the trail in transit. EARLY SPEED: 4,5 + 1,3 RATINGS: 4/ 9/ 10/ 3/ 1/ 5/ 8/ 11/ 6/ 7

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Nothing frightens form analysts more than contests where most, if not all, horses and connections believe they can win. There are several such events at HQ tonight, including the first. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the formative furlong here will be crucial. Back in his Sunraysia days THOMAS HEIGHTS (4) had super early speed, and the last four times he’s led at race level, he’s also been the winner. If Kate Gath can rip that bloke out after the start and pounce upon the lead, this opening event is squarely on his racquet. If not, however, this race opens up. Should they charge through the opening quarter without THOMAS HEIGHTS (4) finding the top then second-row runners MAGIC MIKE (9) and JEREMY WELLS (10) may well get their shot. The major obstacle for our top tip early is MONSIEUR DELACOUR (3). Team Clarke don’t employ his early pace that often these days but could see this as their chance, and if they do, he can be dangerous, as can REACTOR FACTOR (1) who has placed 6 of 7 times he’s lobbed the trail in transit. EARLY SPEED: 4,5 + 1,3 RATINGS: 4/ 9/ 10/ 3/ 1/ 5/ 8/ 11/ 6/ 7

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Nothing frightens form analysts more than contests where most, if not all, horses and connections believe they can win. There are several such events at HQ tonight, including the first. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the formative furlong here will be crucial. Back in his Sunraysia days THOMAS HEIGHTS (4) had super early speed, and the last four times he’s led at race level, he’s also been the winner. If Kate Gath can rip that bloke out after the start and pounce upon the lead, this opening event is squarely on his racquet. If not, however, this race opens up. Should they charge through the opening quarter without THOMAS HEIGHTS (4) finding the top then second-row runners MAGIC MIKE (9) and JEREMY WELLS (10) may well get their shot. The major obstacle for our top tip early is MONSIEUR DELACOUR (3). Team Clarke don’t employ his early pace that often these days but could see this as their chance, and if they do, he can be dangerous, as can REACTOR FACTOR (1) who has placed 6 of 7 times he’s lobbed the trail in transit. EARLY SPEED: 4,5 + 1,3 RATINGS: 4/ 9/ 10/ 3/ 1/ 5/ 8/ 11/ 6/ 7
