This is an open class Discretionary which brings together small but competitive field. JIMMY THE IRISHMAN (6) was driven for luck last time and never came his way but the small field suits he can bounce back and is the one to beat. VILLACCI (7) has found a new lease on life since joining the Ben Yole stable and is shooting for five wins out of six starts in the State and there is no reason why he can’t. CHECK IN (5) is ready to fire but the start will be crucial as races best on speed so keep safe. PUNTARNO STRIDE (2) never runs poorly and if pinged on top will give them something to chase.

Race comment
This is an open class Discretionary which brings together small but competitive field. JIMMY THE IRISHMAN (6) was driven for luck last time and never came his way but the small field suits he can bounce back and is the one to beat. VILLACCI (7) has found a new lease on life since joining the Ben Yole stable and is shooting for five wins out of six starts in the State and there is no reason why he can’t. CHECK IN (5) is ready to fire but the start will be crucial as races best on speed so keep safe. PUNTARNO STRIDE (2) never runs poorly and if pinged on top will give them something to chase. STEPPING STONES (1), KUZMA (#) and WATTABOUT SPANGHER (4) round out the field and wouldn’t shock if any of them actually won.TOP PICK: Villacci (7) can continue on hos winning ways.DANGERS: Jimmy the Irishman (6) is the danger along with Check In (5).ROUGHIE: Wattabout Spangher (4) sneaky chance if they run along.RATINGS: 6 7-1 2 3 4 5EXOTIC BET: Trifecta 7-6-field $30 flexi 600% - 7-field-6 $20 flexi 400%LIKELY LEADER: Puntarno Stride will be looking to ping on top with Check In a query from the 10m line.

Race comment
This is an open class Discretionary which brings together small but competitive field. JIMMY THE IRISHMAN (6) was driven for luck last time and never came his way but the small field suits he can bounce back and is the one to beat. VILLACCI (7) has found a new lease on life since joining the Ben Yole stable and is shooting for five wins out of six starts in the State and there is no reason why he can’t. CHECK IN (5) is ready to fire but the start will be crucial as races best on speed so keep safe. PUNTARNO STRIDE (2) never runs poorly and if pinged on top will give them something to chase. STEPPING STONES (1), KUZMA (#) and WATTABOUT SPANGHER (4) round out the field and wouldn’t shock if any of them actually won.TOP PICK: Villacci (7) can continue on hos winning ways.DANGERS: Jimmy the Irishman (6) is the danger along with Check In (5).ROUGHIE: Wattabout Spangher (4) sneaky chance if they run along.RATINGS: 6 7-1 2 3 4 5EXOTIC BET: Trifecta 7-6-field $30 flexi 600% - 7-field-6 $20 flexi 400%LIKELY LEADER: Puntarno Stride will be looking to ping on top with Check In a query from the 10m line.
