Race comment
OVERVIEW: The Minuteman FFA, two races after this one, is the headline event of the evening but this 80 to 94-rater is almost as mouth-watering in nature. Based on his rapid beginning last weekend, MAJOR MEISTER (4) looks the early leader, but whether he holds that advantage or hands to fellow fast-starter MIGHTY FLYING ART (6) may define the race. If MAJOR MEISTER (4) leads and holds then quality sit-sprinter KNIGHTS TEMPLAR (1) picks himself on top. He was a touch plain by his standards last time out but hugging poles, following speed is where he lives his life. If, however, MIGHTY FLYING ART (6) takes over, that vastly improved veteran narrowly gets the nod. In truth, both of those runners can win tonight regardless of circumstances, as can the constantly underrated BLITZERN (5) who seems consigned to doing the hard yards yet again but has proven myriad times he’s capable of executing that role. They are the top trio. The knockout hopes are these. Firstly, MAJOR MEISTER (4) who has that gate speed mentioned earlier and should be close to peaking at his third run back from a long injury-enforced sabbatical. The others are ENCHANTED STRIDE (10) who is always ablaze but will need a frenetic top-end tempo for success and CRIME WRITER (7) who is in a similar boat.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: The Minuteman FFA, two races after this one, is the headline event of the evening but this 80 to 94-rater is almost as mouth-watering in nature. Based on his rapid beginning last weekend, MAJOR MEISTER (4) looks the early leader, but whether he holds that advantage or hands to fellow fast-starter MIGHTY FLYING ART (6) may define the race. If MAJOR MEISTER (4) leads and holds then quality sit-sprinter KNIGHTS TEMPLAR (1) picks himself on top. He was a touch plain by his standards last time out but hugging poles, following speed is where he lives his life. If, however, MIGHTY FLYING ART (6) takes over, that vastly improved veteran narrowly gets the nod. In truth, both of those runners can win tonight regardless of circumstances, as can the constantly underrated BLITZERN (5) who seems consigned to doing the hard yards yet again but has proven myriad times he’s capable of executing that role. They are the top trio. The knockout hopes are these. Firstly, MAJOR MEISTER (4) who has that gate speed mentioned earlier and should be close to peaking at his third run back from a long injury-enforced sabbatical. The others are ENCHANTED STRIDE (10) who is always ablaze but will need a frenetic top-end tempo for success and CRIME WRITER (7) who is in a similar boat. EARLY SPEED: 4,6 + 1,3,5 RATINGS: 1/ 6/ 5/ 4/ 10/ 7/ 8/ 9/ 3/ 2

Race comment
OVERVIEW: The Minuteman FFA, two races after this one, is the headline event of the evening but this 80 to 94-rater is almost as mouth-watering in nature. Based on his rapid beginning last weekend, MAJOR MEISTER (4) looks the early leader, but whether he holds that advantage or hands to fellow fast-starter MIGHTY FLYING ART (6) may define the race. If MAJOR MEISTER (4) leads and holds then quality sit-sprinter KNIGHTS TEMPLAR (1) picks himself on top. He was a touch plain by his standards last time out but hugging poles, following speed is where he lives his life. If, however, MIGHTY FLYING ART (6) takes over, that vastly improved veteran narrowly gets the nod. In truth, both of those runners can win tonight regardless of circumstances, as can the constantly underrated BLITZERN (5) who seems consigned to doing the hard yards yet again but has proven myriad times he’s capable of executing that role. They are the top trio. The knockout hopes are these. Firstly, MAJOR MEISTER (4) who has that gate speed mentioned earlier and should be close to peaking at his third run back from a long injury-enforced sabbatical. The others are ENCHANTED STRIDE (10) who is always ablaze but will need a frenetic top-end tempo for success and CRIME WRITER (7) who is in a similar boat.

Based on his rapid beginning last weekend, MAJOR MEISTER (4) looks the early leader, but whether he holds that advantage or hands to fellow fast-starter MIGHTY FLYING ART (6) may define the race. If MAJOR MEISTER (4) leads and holds then quality sit-sprinter KNIGHTS TEMPLAR (1) picks himself on top.
