Race comment
OVERVIEW: So good is this 4YO affair to close out tonight’s Early quad that more than half of its combatants could be contesting next year’s Inter Dominion series. Indeed, one of them had a crack this time around, and we’ll get back to him in a moment. Clearly, the critical player here is returning gun MAJOR MOTH (3). Before niggling injuries enforced his break from racing MAJOR MOTH (3) looked a megastar in the making. If he’s 100% screwed down for this assignment he’ll be very tough to beat, but there are also myriad reasons to take him on at the crazy short quote. One is the fact that Emma Stewart’s horses are all improving after one run back these days, another is the fact that he’s far from guaranteed the front. If they run along early, then that one runner who has been through this year’s ID, LONGFELLOW (9), looks a super bet. Despite having three duck eggs next to his name, LONGFELLOW (9) has made ground on the leaders in all three heats of Australasia’s greatest pacing series. That fact alone places him on top. Obviously MAJOR MOTH (3) leads his list of rivals though ONE BIG SHEW (6), YAMBUKIAN (7) and the underrated IDYLLIC (5) are also in this up to their ears. Also, even though he’s not rated as a leading hope tonight, it’s well worth noting that ALBY TWO CHAINS (4) is a super chance of leading and has never been beaten when in front.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: So good is this 4YO affair to close out tonight’s Early quad that more than half of its combatants could be contesting next year’s Inter Dominion series. Indeed, one of them had a crack this time around, and we’ll get back to him in a moment. Clearly, the critical player here is returning gun MAJOR MOTH (3). Before niggling injuries enforced his break from racing MAJOR MOTH (3) looked a megastar in the making. If he’s 100% screwed down for this assignment he’ll be very tough to beat, but there are also myriad reasons to take him on at the crazy short quote. One is the fact that Emma Stewart’s horses are all improving after one run back these days, another is the fact that he’s far from guaranteed the front. If they run along early, then that one runner who has been through this year’s ID, LONGFELLOW (9), looks a super bet. Despite having three duck eggs next to his name, LONGFELLOW (9) has made ground on the leaders in all three heats of Australasia’s greatest pacing series. That fact alone places him on top. Obviously MAJOR MOTH (3) leads his list of rivals though ONE BIG SHEW (6), YAMBUKIAN (7) and the underrated IDYLLIC (5) are also in this up to their ears. Also, even though he’s not rated as a leading hope tonight, it’s well worth noting that ALBY TWO CHAINS (4) is a super chance of leading and has never been beaten when in front.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: So good is this 4YO affair to close out tonight’s Early quad that more than half of its combatants could be contesting next year’s Inter Dominion series. Indeed, one of them had a crack this time around, and we’ll get back to him in a moment. Clearly, the critical player here is returning gun MAJOR MOTH (3). Before niggling injuries enforced his break from racing MAJOR MOTH (3) looked a megastar in the making. If he’s 100% screwed down for this assignment he’ll be very tough to beat, but there are also myriad reasons to take him on at the crazy short quote. One is the fact that Emma Stewart’s horses are all improving after one run back these days, another is the fact that he’s far from guaranteed the front. If they run along early, then that one runner who has been through this year’s ID, LONGFELLOW (9), looks a super bet. Despite having three duck eggs next to his name, LONGFELLOW (9) has made ground on the leaders in all three heats of Australasia’s greatest pacing series. That fact alone places him on top. Obviously MAJOR MOTH (3) leads his list of rivals though ONE BIG SHEW (6), YAMBUKIAN (7) and the underrated IDYLLIC (5) are also in this up to their ears. Also, even though he’s not rated as a leading hope tonight, it’s well worth noting that ALBY TWO CHAINS (4) is a super chance of leading and has never been beaten when in front.
