Race comment
OVERVIEW: CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (3) won the Super Series last season and appeared to be very sharp in his trial victory over OUTLAW MAN (8) and Catch A Wave at Melton on August 29. He recorded a mile rate of 1.55.3 and his last quarter was 26.21 seconds so he must be rated highly. TRIPLE EIGHT (13) appears to be ideally graded in this race considering he has been competing against the open class pacers and he has a National Rating of 119. He finished off well from three back on the markers when third behind Curly James in a mile rate of 1.51.3 last outing. OUTLAW MAN (8) will be relying on WHISKEY CAVALIER (2) holding a forward position at the start (if the emergency fails to gain a run) but he must be considered as a winning chance. His trial effort last week was very good and he was runner up in the Melton Plate during his last preparation. ARGGGHHH (9) couldn’t work into the race after settling in a rearward position when seventh at Melton last week. His form prior was extremely good and he is worth another chance. There are many other winning chances in this quality field. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 3,7? RATINGS: 3,13/ 8/ 9/ 5,7,11/ field

Race comment
OVERVIEW: CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (3) won the Super Series last season and appeared to be very sharp in his trial victory over OUTLAW MAN (8) and Catch A Wave at Melton on August 29. He recorded a mile rate of 1.55.3 and his last quarter was 26.21 seconds so he must be rated highly. TRIPLE EIGHT (13) appears to be ideally graded in this race considering he has been competing against the open class pacers and he has a National Rating of 119. He finished off well from three back on the markers when third behind Curly James in a mile rate of 1.51.3 last outing. OUTLAW MAN (8) will be relying on WHISKEY CAVALIER (2) holding a forward position at the start (if the emergency fails to gain a run) but he must be considered as a winning chance. His trial effort last week was very good and he was runner up in the Melton Plate during his last preparation. ARGGGHHH (9) couldn’t work into the race after settling in a rearward position when seventh at Melton last week. His form prior was extremely good and he is worth another chance. There are many other winning chances in this quality field. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 3,7? RATINGS: 3,13/ 8/ 9/ 5,7,11/ field

OVERVIEW: CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (3) won the Super Series last season and appeared to be very sharp in his trial victory over OUTLAW MAN (8) and Catch A Wave at Melton on August 29. He recorded a mile rate of 1.55.3 and his last quarter was 26.21 seconds so he must be rated highly. TRIPLE EIGHT (13) appears to be ideally graded in this race considering he has been competing against the open class pacers and he has a National Rating of 119. He finished off well from three back on the markers when third behind Curly James in a mile rate of 1.51.3 last outing. OUTLAW MAN (8) will be relying on WHISKEY CAVALIER (2) holding a forward position at the start (if the emergency fails to gain a run) but he must be considered as a winning chance. His trial effort last week was very good and he was runner up in the Melton Plate during his last preparation. ARGGGHHH (9) couldn’t work into the race after settling in a rearward position when seventh at Melton last week. His form prior was extremely good and he is worth another chance. There are many other winning chances in this quality field. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 3,7? RATINGS: 3,13/ 8/ 9/ 5,7,11/ field

Race comment
OVERVIEW: CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (3) won the Super Series last season and appeared to be very sharp in his trial victory over OUTLAW MAN (8) and Catch A Wave at Melton on August 29. He recorded a mile rate of 1.55.3 and his last quarter was 26.21 seconds so he must be rated highly. TRIPLE EIGHT (13) appears to be ideally graded in this race considering he has been competing against the open class pacers and he has a National Rating of 119. He finished off well from three back on the markers when third behind Curly James in a mile rate of 1.51.3 last outing. OUTLAW MAN (8) will be relying on WHISKEY CAVALIER (2) holding a forward position at the start (if the emergency fails to gain a run) but he must be considered as a winning chance. His trial effort last week was very good and he was runner up in the Melton Plate during his last preparation. ARGGGHHH (9) couldn’t work into the race after settling in a rearward position when seventh at Melton last week. His form prior was extremely good and he is worth another chance. There are many other winning chances in this quality field. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 3,7? RATINGS: 3,13/ 8/ 9/ 5,7,11/ field
