Race comment

OVERVIEW: Depending upon tempo and tactics, up to half of the eight engaged runners can claim the first of this evening’s two 1200m scampers. The key, however, is whether EYETHINK (7) employs his outstanding gate speed to lethal early effect. If he does, then Aaron Dunn’s very exciting 4YO should bomb them early and never look back. Truth be told that guy would also be the benchmark runner going back and charging late but both these scenarios come with certain risks. If our top selection charges the arm but doesn’t get rewarded for doing so then ART JESTER (5), who was massive in his first six-furlong foray is an obvious threat, as are GOTTA SMUDGE (9) and also STIR ME UP (8) who broke our punting hearts the last time he tackled 1200m but simply seems a horse that must take over very late in proceeding lest his overly active brain starts to wander up the lane. EARLY SPEED: 7,8? + 2,9? + 4,6? RATINGS: 7/ 5/ 9/ 8/ 1/ 4/ 6/ 2
