RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: GOLDEN TRIBE (6) is a fast beginner and is building up a strong record. He led throughout in a mile rate of 1.54.0 at Melton last outing so he should prove hard to beat again. POPPY WAH WAH (8) has an awkward draw to overcome but he is racing in career best form and recorded slick times at his past two winning performances and is sure to be strongly fancied. FINAL COLLECT (10) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and should be finding the line nicely. UBETTA KNOT (4) has several fast beginners drawn around her but she was able to lead throughout at her latest victory and should run her usual honest race. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 3,4 RATINGS: 6,8/ 10/ 4/ 1,3.9
