OVERVIEW: Many punters, including this one, are still in Psychotherapy after watching Modern Bliss charge past EVER HOPING (5) last weekend, yet the fact remains that EVER HOPING (5) still went well and looks a very promising horse. All things being equal, he should have the edge tonight despite an awkward alley with his chief threat being whoever leads from HURRICANE HUSSLER (4) and ALBY TWO CHAINS (6). That latter horse is very smart when in the mood and has trialled well enough to suggest he isn’t too far from the mark. The other must-include for all exotic wagers is SHORTYS MATE (1). He needs more luck in his races than your shyest mate at the local Club but the polemarking draw suits and he WILL bob up to win one of these races at giant odds in the coming weeks.

All things being equal, he should have the edge tonight despite an awkward alley with his chief threat being whoever leads from HURRICANE HUSSLER (4) and ALBY TWO CHAINS (6).

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Many punters, including this one, are still in Psychotherapy after watching Modern Bliss charge past EVER HOPING (5) last weekend, yet the fact remains that EVER HOPING (5) still went well and looks a very promising horse. All things being equal, he should have the edge tonight despite an awkward alley with his chief threat being whoever leads from HURRICANE HUSSLER (4) and ALBY TWO CHAINS (6). That latter horse is very smart when in the mood and has trialled well enough to suggest he isn’t too far from the mark. The other must-include for all exotic wagers is SHORTYS MATE (1). He needs more luck in his races than your shyest mate at the local Club but the polemarking draw suits and he WILL bob up to win one of these races at giant odds in the coming weeks.
