Race comment
OVERVIEW: Yet again, confusion reigns in this year’s edition of the time-honoured, V L Dullard Trotters Cup. Will QUEEN ELIDA (3) run the gate at her first start since the ID decider last months? Is MAJESTIC MAN (4) the same horse he was during his destructive Victorian adventure two years bac, which began with dominant success in this very event? Is LOCKSLEY LOVER (5) ready for his step into open class feature racing? The only runner engaged with no question marks is JUST BELIEVE (8). He just wins, and he wins on the biggest stages. Sure, the gate eight draw looks awkward tonight but so did his alleys in the ID final and last week’s Cochrane Cup; this horse simply doesn’t care. As a result, he rates clear and looks good value at his current quote with his major dangers all listed above. MAJESTIC MAN (4) has awesome early pace and can head these off. From there he’s simply time-trialling and, if he’s in the mood, may record numbers which make him night on impossible to beat while QUEEN ELIDA (3) despite her 0 vs 3 record against JUST BELIEVE (8) has never been far from that fellow and made ground on him late in each and all of their meetings. The knockout – at odds – is LOCKSLEY LOVER (5). Of course, he's a work in progress but he’s also special. Right now, that fellow’s at $21. Would contemporaries like Aldebaran Zeus, who he beat last start, or Ollivici be a similar quote? You can make up your own mind on that. EARLY SPEED: 4 (Potential Leader) + 2,6? + 1,3 + 5?

OVERVIEW: Yet again, confusion reigns in this year’s edition of the time-honoured, V L Dullard Trotters Cup. Will QUEEN ELIDA (3) run the gate at her first start since the ID decider last months? Is MAJESTIC MAN (4) the same horse he was during his destructive Victorian adventure two years bac, which began with dominant success in this very event? Is LOCKSLEY LOVER (5) ready for his step into open class feature racing? The only runner engaged with no question marks is JUST BELIEVE (8). He just wins, and he wins on the biggest stages. Sure, the gate eight draw looks awkward tonight but so did his alleys in the ID final and last week’s Cochrane Cup; this horse simply doesn’t care. As a result, he rates clear and looks good value at his current quote with his major dangers all listed above. MAJESTIC MAN (4) has awesome early pace and can head these off. From there he’s simply time-trialling and, if he’s in the mood, may record numbers which make him night on impossible to beat while QUEEN ELIDA (3) despite her 0 vs 3 record against JUST BELIEVE (8) has never been far from that fellow and made ground on him late in each and all of their meetings. The knockout – at odds – is LOCKSLEY LOVER (5). Of course, he's a work in progress but he’s also special. Right now, that fellow’s at $21. Would contemporaries like Aldebaran Zeus, who he beat last start, or Ollivici be a similar quote? You can make up your own mind on that. EARLY SPEED: 4 (Potential Leader) + 2,6? + 1,3 + 5?

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Yet again, confusion reigns in this year’s edition of the time-honoured, V L Dullard Trotters Cup. Will QUEEN ELIDA (3) run the gate at her first start since the ID decider last months? Is MAJESTIC MAN (4) the same horse he was during his destructive Victorian adventure two years bac, which began with dominant success in this very event? Is LOCKSLEY LOVER (5) ready for his step into open class feature racing? The only runner engaged with no question marks is JUST BELIEVE (8). He just wins, and he wins on the biggest stages. Sure, the gate eight draw looks awkward tonight but so did his alleys in the ID final and last week’s Cochrane Cup; this horse simply doesn’t care. As a result, he rates clear and looks good value at his current quote with his major dangers all listed above. MAJESTIC MAN (4) has awesome early pace and can head these off. From there he’s simply time-trialling and, if he’s in the mood, may record numbers which make him night on impossible to beat while QUEEN ELIDA (3) despite her 0 vs 3 record against JUST BELIEVE (8) has never been far from that fellow and made ground on him late in each and all of their meetings. The knockout – at odds – is LOCKSLEY LOVER (5). Of course, he's a work in progress but he’s also special. Right now, that fellow’s at $21. Would contemporaries like Aldebaran Zeus, who he beat last start, or Ollivici be a similar quote? You can make up your own mind on that. EARLY SPEED: 4 (Potential Leader) + 2,6? + 1,3 + 5?
