Race comment
OVERVIEW: Much like the previous contest, this pseudo Rising Stars showdown creates the kind of internal conflict which eventually made Sigmund Freud a very rich individual. This isn’t about childhood trauma, its simply questioning which race element matters more, outright class or barrier edge? And, as has been our wont throughout the programme, we’re naturally siding with class. Unsurprisingly, that means our focus largely lies with future open class guns CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) and DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9). In many ways, those two excitement machines are very similar kids. Both have some gate speed when drawn the front row and aren’t averse to leading and winning when required though both thrive most when utilising their breathtaking, brilliant, sustained late pace. The difference between them tonight is probably their draws. DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9) follows out the front line’s fastest starter, LA CAPTAIN (2) while CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) will end up three – or perhaps even four – back the pylons if he holds his inside role (more likely over 1720m than 2240m) and could be spotting his major rivals a decent start should he activate the right hand blinker early in proceedings. For that reason, and that reason alone, DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9) – who was actually very solid fresh despite finishing seventh – narrowly gets the nod from CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) – though its not a two horse race as VANQUISH STRIDE (10), WHISKEY CAVALIER (5), LA CAPTAIN (3) who looks the leader and has saluted six of the eight times he’s lead at race level, can all prevail with perfect personal fortune. EARLY SPEED: 3 (Potential Leader) + 1,4?,7? + 5 RATINGS: 9/ 8/ 10/ 5/ 3/ 1/ 11/ 4/ 7/ 9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Much like the previous contest, this pseudo Rising Stars showdown creates the kind of internal conflict which eventually made Sigmund Freud a very rich individual. This isn’t about childhood trauma, its simply questioning which race element matters more, outright class or barrier edge? And, as has been our wont throughout the programme, we’re naturally siding with class. Unsurprisingly, that means our focus largely lies with future open class guns CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) and DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9). In many ways, those two excitement machines are very similar kids. Both have some gate speed when drawn the front row and aren’t averse to leading and winning when required though both thrive most when utilising their breathtaking, brilliant, sustained late pace. The difference between them tonight is probably their draws. DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9) follows out the front line’s fastest starter, LA CAPTAIN (2) while CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) will end up three – or perhaps even four – back the pylons if he holds his inside role (more likely over 1720m than 2240m) and could be spotting his major rivals a decent start should he activate the right hand blinker early in proceedings. For that reason, and that reason alone, DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9) – who was actually very solid fresh despite finishing seventh – narrowly gets the nod from CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) – though its not a two horse race as VANQUISH STRIDE (10), WHISKEY CAVALIER (5), LA CAPTAIN (3) who looks the leader and has saluted six of the eight times he’s lead at race level, can all prevail with perfect personal fortune. EARLY SPEED: 3 (Potential Leader) + 1,4?,7? + 5 RATINGS: 9/ 8/ 10/ 5/ 3/ 1/ 11/ 4/ 7/ 9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Much like the previous contest, this pseudo Rising Stars showdown creates the kind of internal conflict which eventually made Sigmund Freud a very rich individual. This isn’t about childhood trauma, its simply questioning which race element matters more, outright class or barrier edge? And, as has been our wont throughout the programme, we’re naturally siding with class. Unsurprisingly, that means our focus largely lies with future open class guns CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) and DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9). In many ways, those two excitement machines are very similar kids. Both have some gate speed when drawn the front row and aren’t averse to leading and winning when required though both thrive most when utilising their breathtaking, brilliant, sustained late pace. The difference between them tonight is probably their draws. DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9) follows out the front line’s fastest starter, LA CAPTAIN (2) while CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) will end up three – or perhaps even four – back the pylons if he holds his inside role (more likely over 1720m than 2240m) and could be spotting his major rivals a decent start should he activate the right hand blinker early in proceedings. For that reason, and that reason alone, DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9) – who was actually very solid fresh despite finishing seventh – narrowly gets the nod from CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) – though its not a two horse race as VANQUISH STRIDE (10), WHISKEY CAVALIER (5), LA CAPTAIN (3) who looks the leader and has saluted six of the eight times he’s lead at race level, can all prevail with perfect personal fortune. EARLY SPEED: 3 (Potential Leader) + 1,4?,7? + 5 RATINGS: 9/ 8/ 10/ 5/ 3/ 1/ 11/ 4/ 7/ 9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Much like the previous contest, this pseudo Rising Stars showdown creates the kind of internal conflict which eventually made Sigmund Freud a very rich individual. This isn’t about childhood trauma, its simply questioning which race element matters more, outright class or barrier edge? And, as has been our wont throughout the programme, we’re naturally siding with class. Unsurprisingly, that means our focus largely lies with future open class guns CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) and DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9). In many ways, those two excitement machines are very similar kids. Both have some gate speed when drawn the front row and aren’t averse to leading and winning when required though both thrive most when utilising their breathtaking, brilliant, sustained late pace. The difference between them tonight is probably their draws. DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9) follows out the front line’s fastest starter, LA CAPTAIN (2) while CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) will end up three – or perhaps even four – back the pylons if he holds his inside role (more likely over 1720m than 2240m) and could be spotting his major rivals a decent start should he activate the right hand blinker early in proceedings. For that reason, and that reason alone, DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9) – who was actually very solid fresh despite finishing seventh – narrowly gets the nod from CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) – though its not a two horse race as VANQUISH STRIDE (10), WHISKEY CAVALIER (5), LA CAPTAIN (3) who looks the leader and has saluted six of the eight times he’s lead at race level, can all prevail with perfect personal fortune.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Much like the previous contest, this pseudo Rising Stars showdown creates the kind of internal conflict which eventually made Sigmund Freud a very rich individual. This isn’t about childhood trauma, its simply questioning which race element matters more, outright class or barrier edge? And, as has been our wont throughout the programme, we’re naturally siding with class. Unsurprisingly, that means our focus largely lies with future open class guns CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) and DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9). In many ways, those two excitement machines are very similar kids. Both have some gate speed when drawn the front row and aren’t averse to leading and winning when required though both thrive most when utilising their breathtaking, brilliant, sustained late pace. The difference between them tonight is probably their draws. DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9) follows out the front line’s fastest starter, LA CAPTAIN (2) while CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) will end up three – or perhaps even four – back the pylons if he holds his inside role (more likely over 1720m than 2240m) and could be spotting his major rivals a decent start should he activate the right hand blinker early in proceedings. For that reason, and that reason alone, DISTRICT ATTORNEY (9) – who was actually very solid fresh despite finishing seventh – narrowly gets the nod from CAPTAIN BELLASARIO (8) – though its not a two horse race as VANQUISH STRIDE (10), WHISKEY CAVALIER (5), LA CAPTAIN (3) who looks the leader and has saluted six of the eight times he’s lead at race level, can all prevail with perfect personal fortune. EARLY SPEED: 3 (Potential Leader) + 1,4?,7? + 5 RATINGS: 9/ 8/ 10/ 5/ 3/ 1/ 11/ 4/ 7/ 9
