Race comment
OVERVIEW: Good evening and welcome to the strongest, thickest and richest Vic trotting programme this year. Now, let’s find some winners. Essentially, this opening event requests punters to pick their poison. Either you’re with the lightly raced and clearly gifted HES IDEAL (12) despite his shocking gate or you’re risking him for that very reason. While these decisions are always price dependant, at $2.60 risking may lead to reward. From a punting perspective there’s plenty to like about two veteran warriors at this level in VILLACCI (9) and MONGIANA (3). Neither horse wins out of turn, but both thrive on solidly run races and there’s just enough early speed and mid-race heat to ensure the wheat is divided from the chaff. Without doubt HES IDEAL (12) can also win, but 5 of his 6 successes have come in front and even if he did find the lead role tonight, it will surely come at a cost. The contest certainly doesn’t end there either, with THE LAST CHANCE (13), WHATS STANLEY GOT (6) and OZZIE PLAYBOY (10) also capable of swamping their adversaries should that referenced genuine tempo materialise tonight. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,5 RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 3/ 13/ 6/ 10/ 2/ 11/ 5/ 1/ 8/ 7

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Good evening and welcome to the strongest, thickest and richest Vic trotting programme this year. Now, let’s find some winners. Essentially, this opening event requests punters to pick their poison. Either you’re with the lightly raced and clearly gifted HES IDEAL (12) despite his shocking gate or you’re risking him for that very reason. While these decisions are always price dependant, at $2.60 risking may lead to reward. From a punting perspective there’s plenty to like about two veteran warriors at this level in VILLACCI (9) and MONGIANA (3). Neither horse wins out of turn, but both thrive on solidly run races and there’s just enough early speed and mid-race heat to ensure the wheat is divided from the chaff. Without doubt HES IDEAL (12) can also win, but 5 of his 6 successes have come in front and even if he did find the lead role tonight, it will surely come at a cost. The contest certainly doesn’t end there either, with THE LAST CHANCE (13), WHATS STANLEY GOT (6) and OZZIE PLAYBOY (10) also capable of swamping their adversaries should that referenced genuine tempo materialise tonight.

Either you’re with the lightly raced and clearly gifted HES IDEAL (12) despite his shocking gate or you’re risking him for that very reason. While these decisions are always price dependant, at $2.60 risking may lead to reward. From a punting perspective there’s plenty to like about two veteran warriors at this level in VILLACCI (9) and MONGIANA (3). Neither horse wins out of turn, but both thrive on solidly run races and there’s just enough early speed and mid-race heat to ensure the wheat is divided from the chaff. Without doubt HES IDEAL (12) can also win, but 5 of his 6 successes have come in front and even if he did find the lead role tonight, it will surely come at a cost. The contest certainly doesn’t end there either, with THE LAST CHANCE (13), WHATS STANLEY GOT (6) and OZZIE PLAYBOY (10) also capable of swamping their adversaries should that referenced genuine tempo materialise tonight.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Good evening and welcome to the strongest, thickest and richest Vic trotting programme this year. Now, let’s find some winners. Essentially, this opening event requests punters to pick their poison. Either you’re with the lightly raced and clearly gifted HES IDEAL (12) despite his shocking gate or you’re risking him for that very reason. While these decisions are always price dependant, at $2.60 risking may lead to reward. From a punting perspective there’s plenty to like about two veteran warriors at this level in VILLACCI (9) and MONGIANA (3). Neither horse wins out of turn, but both thrive on solidly run races and there’s just enough early speed and mid-race heat to ensure the wheat is divided from the chaff. Without doubt HES IDEAL (12) can also win, but 5 of his 6 successes have come in front and even if he did find the lead role tonight, it will surely come at a cost. The contest certainly doesn’t end there either, with THE LAST CHANCE (13), WHATS STANLEY GOT (6) and OZZIE PLAYBOY (10) also capable of swamping their adversaries should that referenced genuine tempo materialise tonight.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Good evening and welcome to the strongest, thickest and richest Vic trotting programme this year. Now, let’s find some winners. Essentially, this opening event requests punters to pick their poison. Either you’re with the lightly raced and clearly gifted HES IDEAL (12) despite his shocking gate or you’re risking him for that very reason. While these decisions are always price dependant, at $2.60 risking may lead to reward. From a punting perspective there’s plenty to like about two veteran warriors at this level in VILLACCI (9) and MONGIANA (3). Neither horse wins out of turn, but both thrive on solidly run races and there’s just enough early speed and mid-race heat to ensure the wheat is divided from the chaff. Without doubt HES IDEAL (12) can also win, but 5 of his 6 successes have come in front and even if he did find the lead role tonight, it will surely come at a cost. The contest certainly doesn’t end there either, with THE LAST CHANCE (13), WHATS STANLEY GOT (6) and OZZIE PLAYBOY (10) also capable of swamping their adversaries should that referenced genuine tempo materialise tonight. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,5 RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 3/ 13/ 6/ 10/ 2/ 11/ 5/ 1/ 8/ 7
