Race comment

OVERVIEW: Without question, tonight’s opening event represents the strongest, deepest $100K Claimer staged since those contests were reintroduced to the Vic calendar. And the front-line gate speed engaged via CHASING THE WIND (2), MR BOHANNON (3), YORKSHIRE (4), OZZIE BATTLER (5) and KHAKI NUI (6) should ensure a survival of the fittest – and, of course, the fastest. In many ways, with the classiest few combatants likely to fight this opener out, we could well witness an intriguing clash of styles. In one corner there’s HI MANAMEISJEFF (9) who surprisingly arrives here having beaten Group 1 winners and genuine open-classers first-up from a break. He is both young and versatile; capable of making a mid-race move once the early madness recedes. In the other corner is SIRLETIC (11). He lacks the bottom to undertake two runs in the one race but few pacers Victoria-wide own more top-end speed. Given his tactical edges we’re narrowly siding with HI MANAMEISJEFF (9) over SIRLETIC (11) though two other runners also boast some winning hopes. The obvious is SICARIO (10) who sits somewhere between the top couple when in comes to weaponry. The less obvious option is LOVE INA CHEVY (7). If the early splits are utterly ballistic – and they could be – Lance Justice’s veteran warrior could possibly sit three-wide two-back and still swamp this lot at odds. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Quickest Beginner) + 2,3,4,6 RATINGS: 9/ 11/ 10/ 7/ 6/ 8/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 1/ 2
