Melton R7 GARRARDS PACE

Race comment

  OVERVIEW: On face value, this evening’s fast class pacing contest looms as a mouth-watering match-up between hugely gifted 4YO foes ROCK N ROLL DOO (3) and YAMBUKIAN (7). So far in their short careers those pacing behemoths have met on six occasions, with the current score-line tied at three apiece. Neither horse possesses what might be called exceptional gate speed, and while YAMBUKIAN (7) is slightly quicker off the arm he’s failed to cross ROCK N ROLL DOO (3) on multiple occasions when drawing to his right. This indicates that ROCK N ROLL DOO (3) is a great chance of leading – a position from which he’s been rolled just once in six attempts, by Better Eclipse – or, possibly, REACTOR NOW (1) holds them both. This second scenario also plays well for ROCK N ROLL DOO (3) as he’d likely cop the one-one trail on YAMBUKIAN (7) in that case. With so little separating the two monsters in talent, these factors swing the pendulum slightly in favour of ROCK N ROLL DOO (3) with YAMBUKIAN (7) his obvious threat. If there’s to be a blowout, the most likely assassin is REACTOR NOW (1). Despite failing to truly fulfil his enormous early talent, David Aiken’s son of Auckland Reactor is a dynamite leader and has an excellent record racing from the pole. The elephant in the room talent-wise is WILLIE GO WEST (10) though he’ll likely benefit from the run and all empirical evidence tells us he's an infinitely better horse when racing out in front.   EARLY SPEED: 1,2?,3,4?,6?,7 RATINGS: 3/ 7/ 1/ 10/ 12/ 8/ 2/ 6/ 4/ 9/ 11
