OVERVIEW: The Burning Question approaching tonight’s Mercury80 final is whether megastar 4YO CATCH A WAVE (9) goes back or forward at the start – and it’s probably an academic query regardless. There have only been two heats for Victoria’s seminal six-furlong series this year and the first was infinitely stronger than the second. In that opening qualifier CATCH A WAVE (9) sat third last early then took off at the 800m and brained rivals including Hurricane Harley who is in single figures to claim the Hunter Cup later this evening. If he repeats that, and he should, they won’t see which way he went. The only way that guy gets beaten is if everyone restrains early and het two winner STREITKID (6) gets everything his own way in front. The knockout hopes, or more realistically, the exotic must-includes are FIRE FOX (8) and BULLETPROOF BOY (10) with SHEFFIELD SPARKY (5) and LOVE INA CHEVY (4) rated one tier lower again. EARLY SPEED: 6 (Potential Leader) + 9? + 7?,8? + 4 RATINGS: 9/ 6/ 8/ 10/ 5/ 4/ 7/ 1

OVERVIEW: The Burning Question approaching tonight’s Mercury80 final is whether megastar 4YO CATCH A WAVE (9) goes back or forward at the start – and it’s probably an academic query regardless. There have only been two heats for Victoria’s seminal six-furlong series this year and the first was infinitely stronger than the second. In that opening qualifier CATCH A WAVE (9) sat third last early then took off at the 800m and brained rivals including Hurricane Harley who is in single figures to claim the Hunter Cup later this evening. If he repeats that, and he should, they won’t see which way he went. The only way that guy gets beaten is if everyone restrains early and het two winner STREITKID (6) gets everything his own way in front. The knockout hopes, or more realistically, the exotic must-includes are FIRE FOX (8) and BULLETPROOF BOY (10) with SHEFFIELD SPARKY (5) and LOVE INA CHEVY (4) rated one tier lower again. EARLY SPEED: 6 (Potential Leader) + 9? + 7?,8? + 4 RATINGS: 9/ 6/ 8/ 10/ 5/ 4/ 7/ 1

There have only been two heats for Victoria’s seminal six-furlong series this year and the first was infinitely stronger than the second. In that opening qualifier CATCH A WAVE (9) sat third last early then took off at the 800m and brained rivals including Hurricane Harley who is in single figures to claim the Hunter Cup later this evening. If he repeats that, and he should, they won’t see which way he went. The only way that guy gets beaten is if everyone restrains early and het two winner STREITKID (6) gets everything his own way in front.

OVERVIEW: The Burning Question approaching tonight’s Mercury80 final is whether megastar 4YO CATCH A WAVE (9) goes back or forward at the start – and it’s probably an academic query regardless. There have only been two heats for Victoria’s seminal six-furlong series this year and the first was infinitely stronger than the second. In that opening qualifier CATCH A WAVE (9) sat third last early then took off at the 800m and brained rivals including Hurricane Harley who is in single figures to claim the Hunter Cup later this evening. If he repeats that, and he should, they won’t see which way he went. The only way that guy gets beaten is if everyone restrains early and het two winner STREITKID (6) gets everything his own way in front. The knockout hopes, or more realistically, the exotic must-includes are FIRE FOX (8) and BULLETPROOF BOY (10) with SHEFFIELD SPARKY (5) and LOVE INA CHEVY (4) rated one tier lower again. EARLY SPEED: 6 (Potential Leader) + 9? + 7?,8? + 4 RATINGS: 9/ 6/ 8/ 10/ 5/ 4/ 7/ 1
