Race comment
OVERVIEW: The trickiest part of this short course squaregaiting affair is figuring out which of the many sharp beginners off the front row will access their early brilliance. At first glance, it seems most will have a dip, and that’s not dazzling news for obvious top-rater LETTUCE TROT (5). Having said that, there’s no bad situation for Rusty Jack’s pacing-bred trotter tonight. In scenario A, he balances up and gets gifted the front with minimal effort. In scenario B he lets the fireworks happen and storms over his adversaries at the business end. Leigh Sutton’s been here before and he’ll know what to do so LETTUCE TROT (5) rates clearly on top. The dangers then, are thus. NEXT THRU (9) is a serious talent in the best hands possible with one string run back from the paddock behind him. He's a proper threat, as is SPEEDY LOVER (10) who looks to have A grade potential but not the ringcraft required for us to back him with confidence. The others worth considering for Early Quads – if you’re not going one-out – are AROHA KOE (4) and WHIZZBANG DAN (7) who’d be among the top-tier chances here if not for resuming without a trial. EARLY SPEED: 3 (First To Pegs) + 5 (Potential Eventual Leader) + 6,7? + 4 RATINGS: 5/ 9/ 10/ 4/ 7/ 3/ 8/ 2/ 6/ 1

OVERVIEW: The trickiest part of this short course squaregaiting affair is figuring out which of the many sharp beginners off the front row will access their early brilliance. At first glance, it seems most will have a dip, and that’s not dazzling news for obvious top-rater LETTUCE TROT (5). Having said that, there’s no bad situation for Rusty Jack’s pacing-bred trotter tonight. In scenario A, he balances up and gets gifted the front with minimal effort. In scenario B he lets the fireworks happen and storms over his adversaries at the business end. Leigh Sutton’s been here before and he’ll know what to do so LETTUCE TROT (5) rates clearly on top. The dangers then, are thus. NEXT THRU (9) is a serious talent in the best hands possible with one string run back from the paddock behind him. He's a proper threat, as is SPEEDY LOVER (10) who looks to have A grade potential but not the ringcraft required for us to back him with confidence. The others worth considering for Early Quads – if you’re not going one-out – are AROHA KOE (4) and WHIZZBANG DAN (7) who’d be among the top-tier chances here if not for resuming without a trial. EARLY SPEED: 3 (First To Pegs) + 5 (Potential Eventual Leader) + 6,7? + 4 RATINGS: 5/ 9/ 10/ 4/ 7/ 3/ 8/ 2/ 6/ 1

OVERVIEW: The trickiest part of this short course squaregaiting affair is figuring out which of the many sharp beginners off the front row will access their early brilliance. At first glance, it seems most will have a dip, and that’s not dazzling news for obvious top-rater LETTUCE TROT (5). Having said that, there’s no bad situation for Rusty Jack’s pacing-bred trotter tonight. In scenario A, he balances up and gets gifted the front with minimal effort. In scenario B he lets the fireworks happen and storms over his adversaries at the business end. Leigh Sutton’s been here before and he’ll know what to do so LETTUCE TROT (5) rates clearly on top. The dangers then, are thus. NEXT THRU (9) is a serious talent in the best hands possible with one string run back from the paddock behind him. He's a proper threat, as is SPEEDY LOVER (10) who looks to have A grade potential but not the ringcraft required for us to back him with confidence. The others worth considering for Early Quads – if you’re not going one-out – are AROHA KOE (4) and WHIZZBANG DAN (7) who’d be among the top-tier chances here if not for resuming without a trial. EARLY SPEED: 3 (First To Pegs) + 5 (Potential Eventual Leader) + 6,7? + 4 RATINGS: 5/ 9/ 10/ 4/ 7/ 3/ 8/ 2/ 6/ 1
