RACE COMMENT
This is for the 56-63 rated pacers and it’s a tough one. DIAMONDSNBLUE (2) continues to race well and has the draw to settle handy and will take plenty of holding out. PUNTARNO STRIDE (3) is racing and deserves to breakthrough and should get his chance as will be on speed throughout. AXE AND DEEZ (6) has been racing well and despite the draw looks a major player so include along with the likes of SPORTS WRACK (4), JEREMY WELLS (7) and WILL HE PIKE (10) who are all capable of running into a placing at odds.TOP PICK: Puntarno Stride (3) happy to have a small play.DANGERS: Diamondsnblue (2) is the danger along with Axe and Deez (6).ROUGHIE: Jeremy Wells (7) is the value play.RATINGS: 3-2 4 6 7 9 10-1 5 8EXOTIC BET: Trifecta 2 3-2 3-4 6 7 9 10 $20 flexi 200%- 2 3-4 6 7 9 10-2 3 $15 flexi 150%LIKELY LEADER: Puntarno Stride can work to the early lead.
