Race comment
OVERVIEW: Plainly put, there are two, vastly disparate ways of assessing this Gordon Rothacker Memorial Championship Final. You can choose to convince yourself that Emma Stewart’s dynamic duo STRAVINSKY (2) and POLLY PUT KETTLEON (5) had excuses for their disappointing heat performances and that Emma, as she’s done so many times before, will rapidly turn their form around. Or you can accept that JULIUS SHADOW (10) is simply better than that brace and take the tidy odds that he’ll simply salute once more. We are choosing option number two. Prior to a break JULIUS SHADOW (10) had proven he was well above average, and he’ll only improve off his devastatingly dominant first-up success. Of course, respect must be given to Stewart’s pair, particularly POLLY PUT KETTLEON (5) but they represent just two of potentially five genuine threats. The others are second heat winner SERG BLANCO (3), flying sit-sprinter SEW WHAT (8) and the crazily underrated SHORTYS MATE (12) who is paying $12 the drum and should be that quote to win. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Potential Early Leader) + 2,3,4 + 1,6? RATINGS: 10/ 5/ 3/ 8/ 12/ 2/ 6/ 13/ 4/ 1/ 11/ 9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Plainly put, there are two, vastly disparate ways of assessing this Gordon Rothacker Memorial Championship Final. You can choose to convince yourself that Emma Stewart’s dynamic duo STRAVINSKY (2) and POLLY PUT KETTLEON (5) had excuses for their disappointing heat performances and that Emma, as she’s done so many times before, will rapidly turn their form around. Or you can accept that JULIUS SHADOW (10) is simply better than that brace and take the tidy odds that he’ll simply salute once more. We are choosing option number two. Prior to a break JULIUS SHADOW (10) had proven he was well above average, and he’ll only improve off his devastatingly dominant first-up success. Of course, respect must be given to Stewart’s pair, particularly POLLY PUT KETTLEON (5) but they represent just two of potentially five genuine threats. The others are second heat winner SERG BLANCO (3), flying sit-sprinter SEW WHAT (8) and the crazily underrated SHORTYS MATE (12) who is paying $12 the drum and should be that quote to win. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Potential Early Leader) + 2,3,4 + 1,6? RATINGS: 10/ 5/ 3/ 8/ 12/ 2/ 6/ 13/ 4/ 1/ 11/ 9

OVERVIEW: Plainly put, there are two, vastly disparate ways of assessing this Gordon Rothacker Memorial Championship Final. You can choose to convince yourself that Emma Stewart’s dynamic duo STRAVINSKY (2) and POLLY PUT KETTLEON (5) had excuses for their disappointing heat performances and that Emma, as she’s done so many times before, will rapidly turn their form around. Or you can accept that JULIUS SHADOW (10) is simply better than that brace and take the tidy odds that he’ll simply salute once more. We are choosing option number two. Prior to a break JULIUS SHADOW (10) had proven he was well above average, and he’ll only improve off his devastatingly dominant first-up success. Of course, respect must be given to Stewart’s pair, particularly POLLY PUT KETTLEON (5) but they represent just two of potentially five genuine threats. The others are second heat winner SERG BLANCO (3), flying sit-sprinter SEW WHAT (8) and the crazily underrated SHORTYS MATE (12) who is paying $12 the drum and should be that quote to win. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Potential Early Leader) + 2,3,4 + 1,6? RATINGS: 10/ 5/ 3/ 8/ 12/ 2/ 6/ 13/ 4/ 1/ 11/ 9

OVERVIEW: Plainly put, there are two, vastly disparate ways of assessing this Gordon Rothacker Memorial Championship Final. You can choose to convince yourself that Emma Stewart’s dynamic duo STRAVINSKY (2) and POLLY PUT KETTLEON (5) had excuses for their disappointing heat performances and that Emma, as she’s done so many times before, will rapidly turn their form around. Or you can accept that JULIUS SHADOW (10) is simply better than that brace and take the tidy odds that he’ll simply salute once more. We are choosing option number two. Prior to a break JULIUS SHADOW (10) had proven he was well above average, and he’ll only improve off his devastatingly dominant first-up success. Of course, respect must be given to Stewart’s pair, particularly POLLY PUT KETTLEON (5) but they represent just two of potentially five genuine threats. The others are second heat winner SERG BLANCO (3), flying sit-sprinter SEW WHAT (8) and the crazily underrated SHORTYS MATE (12) who is paying $12 the drum and should be that quote to win. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Potential Early Leader) + 2,3,4 + 1,6? RATINGS: 10/ 5/ 3/ 8/ 12/ 2/ 6/ 13/ 4/ 1/ 11/ 9
