Race comment
OVERVIEW: Sometimes when it comes to these well-endowed heat-into-final series’ there can be, as Travis Cloke would say, some smoke and shadows behind the windows. That doesn’t seem the case in this Metropolitan Pace decider. The only real question mark hanging over this $30K decider from last weekend is whether shock heat winner IM SHADOW BOXER (5) will once again attempt to bomb them at the start, though with the element of surprise removed, that’s probably unlikely. Everything else we witness seven days back seems quite transparent, and based on the evidence available, MONA MIA (11) and SANDAY (10) seem the ones to beat, with MONA MIA (11) narrowly getting the nod given her scope for improvement second-up tonight. The other must-include for Quaddies, however, is SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (3). He was beaten on his merits after leading last weekend, but if he lobs the top then relents to stablemate BATMAN BARRY (6) there’s every chance that he’ll be better placed for triumph. Others worth considering are class runner KHAFAJI (8) whose trending in the right direction but draws to find some bother, OZZIE PLAYBOY (7) who seems set more for tonight’s final than he was for his heat, and the previously referenced IM SHADOW BOXER (5) who could still cross despite our earlier assessment, and triumphed at heat level last start that crossing may not even be necessary. EARLY SPEED: 2,3,5?,6? + 4there? RATINGS: 11/ 10/ 3/ 8/ 7/ 5/ 4/ 9/ 6/ 2

OVERVIEW: Sometimes when it comes to these well-endowed heat-into-final series’ there can be, as Travis Cloke would say, some smoke and shadows behind the windows. That doesn’t seem the case in this Metropolitan Pace decider. The only real question mark hanging over this $30K decider from last weekend is whether shock heat winner IM SHADOW BOXER (5) will once again attempt to bomb them at the start, though with the element of surprise removed, that’s probably unlikely. Everything else we witness seven days back seems quite transparent, and based on the evidence available, MONA MIA (11) and SANDAY (10) seem the ones to beat, with MONA MIA (11) narrowly getting the nod given her scope for improvement second-up tonight. The other must-include for Quaddies, however, is SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (3). He was beaten on his merits after leading last weekend, but if he lobs the top then relents to stablemate BATMAN BARRY (6) there’s every chance that he’ll be better placed for triumph. Others worth considering are class runner KHAFAJI (8) whose trending in the right direction but draws to find some bother, OZZIE PLAYBOY (7) who seems set more for tonight’s final than he was for his heat, and the previously referenced IM SHADOW BOXER (5) who could still cross despite our earlier assessment, and triumphed at heat level last start that crossing may not even be necessary.

OVERVIEW: Sometimes when it comes to these well-endowed heat-into-final series’ there can be, as Travis Cloke would say, some smoke and shadows behind the windows. That doesn’t seem the case in this Metropolitan Pace decider. The only real question mark hanging over this $30K decider from last weekend is whether shock heat winner IM SHADOW BOXER (5) will once again attempt to bomb them at the start, though with the element of surprise removed, that’s probably unlikely. Everything else we witness seven days back seems quite transparent, and based on the evidence available, MONA MIA (11) and SANDAY (10) seem the ones to beat, with MONA MIA (11) narrowly getting the nod given her scope for improvement second-up tonight. The other must-include for Quaddies, however, is SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (3). He was beaten on his merits after leading last weekend, but if he lobs the top then relents to stablemate BATMAN BARRY (6) there’s every chance that he’ll be better placed for triumph. Others worth considering are class runner KHAFAJI (8) whose trending in the right direction but draws to find some bother, OZZIE PLAYBOY (7) who seems set more for tonight’s final than he was for his heat, and the previously referenced IM SHADOW BOXER (5) who could still cross despite our earlier assessment, and triumphed at heat level last start that crossing may not even be necessary.

The other must-include for Quaddies, however, is SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (3). He was beaten on his merits after leading last weekend, but if he lobs the top then relents to stablemate BATMAN BARRY (6) there’s every chance that he’ll be better placed for triumph. Others worth considering are class runner KHAFAJI (8) whose trending in the right direction but draws to find some bother, OZZIE PLAYBOY (7) who seems set more for tonight’s final than he was for his heat, and the previously referenced IM SHADOW BOXER (5) who could still cross despite our earlier assessment, and triumphed at heat level last start that crossing may not even be necessary.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Sometimes when it comes to these well-endowed heat-into-final series’ there can be, as Travis Cloke would say, some smoke and shadows behind the windows. That doesn’t seem the case in this Metropolitan Pace decider. The only real question mark hanging over this $30K decider from last weekend is whether shock heat winner IM SHADOW BOXER (5) will once again attempt to bomb them at the start, though with the element of surprise removed, that’s probably unlikely. Everything else we witness seven days back seems quite transparent, and based on the evidence available, MONA MIA (11) and SANDAY (10) seem the ones to beat, with MONA MIA (11) narrowly getting the nod given her scope for improvement second-up tonight. The other must-include for Quaddies, however, is SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (3). He was beaten on his merits after leading last weekend, but if he lobs the top then relents to stablemate BATMAN BARRY (6) there’s every chance that he’ll be better placed for triumph. Others worth considering are class runner KHAFAJI (8) whose trending in the right direction but draws to find some bother, OZZIE PLAYBOY (7) who seems set more for tonight’s final than he was for his heat, and the previously referenced IM SHADOW BOXER (5) who could still cross despite our earlier assessment, and triumphed at heat level last start that crossing may not even be necessary.
