RACE COMMENT
This is for the up to 49 pacers and it’s a tough one to access. SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (4) got a well deserved win last time and looks hard to beat again as should be on speed. LALIBELA (1) has the draw to get the last crack at them late and can win. REMEMBER ME NOW (5) is the query a d can spear across early and can give plenty of cheek and will be good odds. TALK IS CHEAP (6), STAROFREMEMBERANCE (7), SHOOBEES SPIRIT (8) and SUNSHINE SAINT (11) are a quartet that wouldn’t entirely shock if was in the finish.TOP PICK: Sapphire Gambler (4) happy to go his way.DANGERS: Lalibela (1) is the danger along with Shoobees Spirit (8).ROUGHIE: Remember Me Now (5) is the value play.RATINGS: 4-1 5 6 7 8 11-3 9 10EXOTIC BET: Boxed trifecta 1 4 5 8 11 $30 flexi 50%LIKELY LEADER: Remember Me Now will look to spear across early.
