Race comment
OVERVIEW: If the two of this year’s SOG carnival had a theme, it would be confusion. Is HURRICANE HARLEY (1) still the horse that rated 1min51.4secs here beating Lochinvar Art? Or still the hose that’s won 15 from 18 in front? If yes, he’s unbeatable here. If not, the world opens. Much as this analyst loves little Harley there is little evidence to suggest he’s quite the horse he was right now and he won’t need to be far off his brilliant best to prove vulnerable at the hooves of TORRID SAINT (8). Despite mixing and matching his form a little of late, it should be remembered that TORRID SAINT (8) finished second in last month’s Inter Dominion Grand Final from three back the poles. So, if things pan out as planned the major hopes should be trail and lead in transit, but those playing Quads should leave their minds agape for other possibilities. In a nutshell, JILLIBY SYLVESTER (7), CRIME WRITER (6) and FOCUS STRIDE (3) all possess too much talent for them to be totally ignored. Yes, they’ll all need favours but this Casey Classic is a race where very little is totally guaranteed. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Likely Leader) + 2,7? + 3? RATINGS: 8/ 1/ 7/ 6/ 3/ 2/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: If the two of this year’s SOG carnival had a theme, it would be confusion. Is HURRICANE HARLEY (1) still the horse that rated 1min51.4secs here beating Lochinvar Art? Or still the hose that’s won 15 from 18 in front? If yes, he’s unbeatable here. If not, the world opens. Much as this analyst loves little Harley there is little evidence to suggest he’s quite the horse he was right now and he won’t need to be far off his brilliant best to prove vulnerable at the hooves of TORRID SAINT (8). Despite mixing and matching his form a little of late, it should be remembered that TORRID SAINT (8) finished second in last month’s Inter Dominion Grand Final from three back the poles. So, if things pan out as planned the major hopes should be trail and lead in transit, but those playing Quads should leave their minds agape for other possibilities. In a nutshell, JILLIBY SYLVESTER (7), CRIME WRITER (6) and FOCUS STRIDE (3) all possess too much talent for them to be totally ignored. Yes, they’ll all need favours but this Casey Classic is a race where very little is totally guaranteed. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Likely Leader) + 2,7? + 3? RATINGS: 8/ 1/ 7/ 6/ 3/ 2/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: If the two of this year’s SOG carnival had a theme, it would be confusion. Is HURRICANE HARLEY (1) still the horse that rated 1min51.4secs here beating Lochinvar Art? Or still the hose that’s won 15 from 18 in front? If yes, he’s unbeatable here. If not, the world opens. Much as this analyst loves little Harley there is little evidence to suggest he’s quite the horse he was right now and he won’t need to be far off his brilliant best to prove vulnerable at the hooves of TORRID SAINT (8). Despite mixing and matching his form a little of late, it should be remembered that TORRID SAINT (8) finished second in last month’s Inter Dominion Grand Final from three back the poles. So, if things pan out as planned the major hopes should be trail and lead in transit, but those playing Quads should leave their minds agape for other possibilities. In a nutshell, JILLIBY SYLVESTER (7), CRIME WRITER (6) and FOCUS STRIDE (3) all possess too much talent for them to be totally ignored. Yes, they’ll all need favours but this Casey Classic is a race where very little is totally guaranteed. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Likely Leader) + 2,7? + 3? RATINGS: 8/ 1/ 7/ 6/ 3/ 2/ 5
