OVERVIEW: If we’re being honest here, only Emma Stewart and Clayton Tonkin know who the best winning hope is in tonight’s penultimate contest. Their three combatants, HECTOR (2), CLOUD NINE (4) and HES IDEAL (6) are all very progressive pacers with serious ability. On established form HES IDEAL (6) deserves top billing, but he’s also a work in progress and can be his own worst enemy at times. For that reason, we’re tipping HECTOR (2) just on top. Despite lacking crazy early burn, HECTOR (2) has the services of David Moran, who should ensure he finds the pegs then likely relents to HES IDEAL (6) in transit. Knowing that bloke loves to roll free, there’s a great chance HECTOR (2) bombs him in the lane. They are the two major players but, truth be told, almost every other runner here can win, headed up by RADIUS (3) and CLOUD NINE (4) as well.

OVERVIEW: If we’re being honest here, only Emma Stewart and Clayton Tonkin know who the best winning hope is in tonight’s penultimate contest. Their three combatants, HECTOR (2), CLOUD NINE (4) and HES IDEAL (6) are all very progressive pacers with serious ability. On established form HES IDEAL (6) deserves top billing, but he’s also a work in progress and can be his own worst enemy at times. For that reason, we’re tipping HECTOR (2) just on top. Despite lacking crazy early burn, HECTOR (2) has the services of David Moran, who should ensure he finds the pegs then likely relents to HES IDEAL (6) in transit. Knowing that bloke loves to roll free, there’s a great chance HECTOR (2) bombs him in the lane. They are the two major players but, truth be told, almost every other runner here can win, headed up by RADIUS (3) and CLOUD NINE (4) as well.
