Race comment
OVERVIEW: It’s far from the easiest contest to assess but in most ways that matter to Harness racing lovers, this 80-89-rater over 1720m represents the race of the night. First, there’ the early speed dua. Will ULTIMATE VINNIE (1) hold up, does WE BETTOR BELIEVE IT (2) find a bloodless lead or can MIGHTY FLYING ART (3)/PULL THE OTHER LEG (5) cross that pair for pace? Will they record the early splits for those class second line runners to swallow up the leaders? And is VON ART (7) ready after two solid trials to overcome her car park alley fresh-up from a break? None of these questions – bar perhaps the last (Von Art will find it tough to win from barrier seven) – are easily answered. What this analyst believes he knows, however, is that JUSTALITTLESIP (6) has elite potential and, critically, can with this contest in a variety of ways. In an awfully tricky event he gets a pretty confident nod over WE BETTOR BELIEVE IT (2) who must cross comfortably to win should Mattie Craven press the button early as expected. The other must-includes for Quaddie players are YANKEE GOLD (8) who was super first-up and should lob trail or three-pegs at worst, EVER HOPING (9) who keeps racing well but looks consigned, yet again, to work harder then his major rivals, and SERG BLANCO (10) who also has open-class talent but faces a mighty challenge passing so many gifted adversaries from his outside-second-line draw.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: It’s far from the easiest contest to assess but in most ways that matter to Harness racing lovers, this 80-89-rater over 1720m represents the race of the night. First, there’ the early speed dua. Will ULTIMATE VINNIE (1) hold up, does WE BETTOR BELIEVE IT (2) find a bloodless lead or can MIGHTY FLYING ART (3)/PULL THE OTHER LEG (5) cross that pair for pace? Will they record the early splits for those class second line runners to swallow up the leaders? And is VON ART (7) ready after two solid trials to overcome her car park alley fresh-up from a break? None of these questions – bar perhaps the last (Von Art will find it tough to win from barrier seven) – are easily answered. What this analyst believes he knows, however, is that JUSTALITTLESIP (6) has elite potential and, critically, can with this contest in a variety of ways. In an awfully tricky event he gets a pretty confident nod over WE BETTOR BELIEVE IT (2) who must cross comfortably to win should Mattie Craven press the button early as expected. The other must-includes for Quaddie players are YANKEE GOLD (8) who was super first-up and should lob trail or three-pegs at worst, EVER HOPING (9) who keeps racing well but looks consigned, yet again, to work harder then his major rivals, and SERG BLANCO (10) who also has open-class talent but faces a mighty challenge passing so many gifted adversaries from his outside-second-line draw.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: It’s far from the easiest contest to assess but in most ways that matter to Harness racing lovers, this 80-89-rater over 1720m represents the race of the night. First, there’ the early speed dua. Will ULTIMATE VINNIE (1) hold up, does WE BETTOR BELIEVE IT (2) find a bloodless lead or can MIGHTY FLYING ART (3)/PULL THE OTHER LEG (5) cross that pair for pace? Will they record the early splits for those class second line runners to swallow up the leaders? And is VON ART (7) ready after two solid trials to overcome her car park alley fresh-up from a break? None of these questions – bar perhaps the last (Von Art will find it tough to win from barrier seven) – are easily answered. What this analyst believes he knows, however, is that JUSTALITTLESIP (6) has elite potential and, critically, can with this contest in a variety of ways. In an awfully tricky event he gets a pretty confident nod over WE BETTOR BELIEVE IT (2) who must cross comfortably to win should Mattie Craven press the button early as expected. The other must-includes for Quaddie players are YANKEE GOLD (8) who was super first-up and should lob trail or three-pegs at worst, EVER HOPING (9) who keeps racing well but looks consigned, yet again, to work harder then his major rivals, and SERG BLANCO (10) who also has open-class talent but faces a mighty challenge passing so many gifted adversaries from his outside-second-line draw.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: It’s far from the easiest contest to assess but in most ways that matter to Harness racing lovers, this 80-89-rater over 1720m represents the race of the night. First, there’ the early speed dua. Will ULTIMATE VINNIE (1) hold up, does WE BETTOR BELIEVE IT (2) find a bloodless lead or can MIGHTY FLYING ART (3)/PULL THE OTHER LEG (5) cross that pair for pace? Will they record the early splits for those class second line runners to swallow up the leaders? And is VON ART (7) ready after two solid trials to overcome her car park alley fresh-up from a break? None of these questions – bar perhaps the last (Von Art will find it tough to win from barrier seven) – are easily answered. What this analyst believes he knows, however, is that JUSTALITTLESIP (6) has elite potential and, critically, can with this contest in a variety of ways. In an awfully tricky event he gets a pretty confident nod over WE BETTOR BELIEVE IT (2) who must cross comfortably to win should Mattie Craven press the button early as expected. The other must-includes for Quaddie players are YANKEE GOLD (8) who was super first-up and should lob trail or three-pegs at worst, EVER HOPING (9) who keeps racing well but looks consigned, yet again, to work harder then his major rivals, and SERG BLANCO (10) who also has open-class talent but faces a mighty challenge passing so many gifted adversaries from his outside-second-line draw.
