Race comment
OVERVIEW: Chris Martin, lead singer of iconic pop quartet Coldplay, one opined that the hardest part was letting go, not taking part; but he was never gainfully employed as a racing form analyst. With all due respect to Martin, the hardest part of assessing these preferential draw contests at Vic Harness HQ, is whether to side with maps or class. Anybody that regularly watches the trots in this state will know that SWEETPASSION (10) possesses more talent and greater scope for future improvement than her rivals here tonight. And, as a result, we’re rating him clearly on top. Though whether we back him will be price dependant. The fact is, tis opening event – like most of tonight’s nine-race card – lacks the spectre of mid-race pressure. That means, SWEETPASSION (10) may be forced to break the clock peeling three-wide through the final 800m, or charge forward prior to that point against his natural pattern. Nevertheless, as mentioned, he gets the nod with his major threats comprised by possible leader LOTTIE MOON (6) and Tassie invader RACKETEERS BOY (3) who balances an awful figure form-line against the fact his national rating far exceeds his adversaries tonight, and he did finish second to future star Where’s The Gold in an Easter Cup heat first up from a spell. Smaller hopes also go to TIGER BANDWAGON (5) and MIKI MAHONEY (2) who will start from the pole if the Emergency comes out and should relish either leading or trailing should he secure either role in transit.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Chris Martin, lead singer of iconic pop quartet Coldplay, one opined that the hardest part was letting go, not taking part; but he was never gainfully employed as a racing form analyst. With all due respect to Martin, the hardest part of assessing these preferential draw contests at Vic Harness HQ, is whether to side with maps or class. Anybody that regularly watches the trots in this state will know that SWEETPASSION (10) possesses more talent and greater scope for future improvement than her rivals here tonight. And, as a result, we’re rating him clearly on top. Though whether we back him will be price dependant. The fact is, tis opening event – like most of tonight’s nine-race card – lacks the spectre of mid-race pressure. That means, SWEETPASSION (10) may be forced to break the clock peeling three-wide through the final 800m, or charge forward prior to that point against his natural pattern. Nevertheless, as mentioned, he gets the nod with his major threats comprised by possible leader LOTTIE MOON (6) and Tassie invader RACKETEERS BOY (3) who balances an awful figure form-line against the fact his national rating far exceeds his adversaries tonight, and he did finish second to future star Where’s The Gold in an Easter Cup heat first up from a spell. Smaller hopes also go to TIGER BANDWAGON (5) and MIKI MAHONEY (2) who will start from the pole if the Emergency comes out and should relish either leading or trailing should he secure either role in transit.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Chris Martin, lead singer of iconic pop quartet Coldplay, one opined that the hardest part was letting go, not taking part; but he was never gainfully employed as a racing form analyst. With all due respect to Martin, the hardest part of assessing these preferential draw contests at Vic Harness HQ, is whether to side with maps or class. Anybody that regularly watches the trots in this state will know that SWEETPASSION (10) possesses more talent and greater scope for future improvement than her rivals here tonight. And, as a result, we’re rating him clearly on top. Though whether we back him will be price dependant. The fact is, tis opening event – like most of tonight’s nine-race card – lacks the spectre of mid-race pressure. That means, SWEETPASSION (10) may be forced to break the clock peeling three-wide through the final 800m, or charge forward prior to that point against his natural pattern. Nevertheless, as mentioned, he gets the nod with his major threats comprised by possible leader LOTTIE MOON (6) and Tassie invader RACKETEERS BOY (3) who balances an awful figure form-line against the fact his national rating far exceeds his adversaries tonight, and he did finish second to future star Where’s The Gold in an Easter Cup heat first up from a spell. Smaller hopes also go to TIGER BANDWAGON (5) and MIKI MAHONEY (2) who will start from the pole if the Emergency comes out and should relish either leading or trailing should he secure either role in transit.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Chris Martin, lead singer of iconic pop quartet Coldplay, one opined that the hardest part was letting go, not taking part; but he was never gainfully employed as a racing form analyst. With all due respect to Martin, the hardest part of assessing these preferential draw contests at Vic Harness HQ, is whether to side with maps or class. Anybody that regularly watches the trots in this state will know that SWEETPASSION (10) possesses more talent and greater scope for future improvement than her rivals here tonight. And, as a result, we’re rating him clearly on top. Though whether we back him will be price dependant. The fact is, tis opening event – like most of tonight’s nine-race card – lacks the spectre of mid-race pressure. That means, SWEETPASSION (10) may be forced to break the clock peeling three-wide through the final 800m, or charge forward prior to that point against his natural pattern. Nevertheless, as mentioned, he gets the nod with his major threats comprised by possible leader LOTTIE MOON (6) and Tassie invader RACKETEERS BOY (3) who balances an awful figure form-line against the fact his national rating far exceeds his adversaries tonight, and he did finish second to future star Where’s The Gold in an Easter Cup heat first up from a spell. Smaller hopes also go to TIGER BANDWAGON (5) and MIKI MAHONEY (2) who will start from the pole if the Emergency comes out and should relish either leading or trailing should he secure either role in transit.
