OVERVIEW: EXOTIC BUSHRANGER (3) is racing in fine form and looms as one of the leading chances again. He recorded a mile rate of 1.53.2 when he won a heat of the Metropolitan Pace series then followed with a second behind the smart pacer Roadmaster in the Final. YOUNGGIFTEDANDBLACK (1) is an underrated mare, which possesses early speed and should go well from the pole position. He worked hard early before gaining a trail and ran home nicely for second behind Fighter Command last week. CLASSIC MISSION (8) has been freshened since his latest third behind Radius in May and has the perfect trailing draw behind YOUNGGIFTEDANDBLACK (1) so he is not without a chance. MAJOR MANBAR (4) is a tough pacer and should be getting fitter after his two starts back from a break. He tried to sustain a long run at his latest fourth behind Fighter Command and is a good chance of moving up without cover shortly after the start in this event.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: EXOTIC BUSHRANGER (3) is racing in fine form and looms as one of the leading chances again. He recorded a mile rate of 1.53.2 when he won a heat of the Metropolitan Pace series then followed with a second behind the smart pacer Roadmaster in the Final. YOUNGGIFTEDANDBLACK (1) is an underrated mare, which possesses early speed and should go well from the pole position. He worked hard early before gaining a trail and ran home nicely for second behind Fighter Command last week. CLASSIC MISSION (8) has been freshened since his latest third behind Radius in May and has the perfect trailing draw behind YOUNGGIFTEDANDBLACK (1) so he is not without a chance. MAJOR MANBAR (4) is a tough pacer and should be getting fitter after his two starts back from a break. He tried to sustain a long run at his latest fourth behind Fighter Command and is a good chance of moving up without cover shortly after the start in this event. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,4,7 RATINGS: 3/ 1,8/ 4/ 2,6/ 11

Race comment
OVERVIEW: EXOTIC BUSHRANGER (3) is racing in fine form and looms as one of the leading chances again. He recorded a mile rate of 1.53.2 when he won a heat of the Metropolitan Pace series then followed with a second behind the smart pacer Roadmaster in the Final. YOUNGGIFTEDANDBLACK (1) is an underrated mare, which possesses early speed and should go well from the pole position. He worked hard early before gaining a trail and ran home nicely for second behind Fighter Command last week. CLASSIC MISSION (8) has been freshened since his latest third behind Radius in May and has the perfect trailing draw behind YOUNGGIFTEDANDBLACK (1) so he is not without a chance. MAJOR MANBAR (4) is a tough pacer and should be getting fitter after his two starts back from a break. He tried to sustain a long run at his latest fourth behind Fighter Command and is a good chance of moving up without cover shortly after the start in this event. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,4,7 RATINGS: 3/ 1,8/ 4/ 2,6/ 11

Race comment
OVERVIEW: EXOTIC BUSHRANGER (3) is racing in fine form and looms as one of the leading chances again. He recorded a mile rate of 1.53.2 when he won a heat of the Metropolitan Pace series then followed with a second behind the smart pacer Roadmaster in the Final. YOUNGGIFTEDANDBLACK (1) is an underrated mare, which possesses early speed and should go well from the pole position. He worked hard early before gaining a trail and ran home nicely for second behind Fighter Command last week. CLASSIC MISSION (8) has been freshened since his latest third behind Radius in May and has the perfect trailing draw behind YOUNGGIFTEDANDBLACK (1) so he is not without a chance. MAJOR MANBAR (4) is a tough pacer and should be getting fitter after his two starts back from a break. He tried to sustain a long run at his latest fourth behind Fighter Command and is a good chance of moving up without cover shortly after the start in this event. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,4,7 RATINGS: 3/ 1,8/ 4/ 2,6/ 11
