Race comment
OVERVIEW: SMOKEN ACE (5) is a fast beginner and has been racing against strong opposition. He worked hard early before gaining cover when second behind Fighter Command then held his own in sizzling final sectionals when fourth behind The Narcissist last week. He should be competitive against this line up. REPELLING (2) was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished off solidly for third behind Meteor Moth last outing. He performs best when he is close to the lead and is racing consistently so he is worth an investment. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (1) took on the open class when seventh behind Tango Tara last week. This race is easier and he finished second from behind the leader two starts ago so he warrants respect. ROARFORROSCOE (11) hasn’t had much luck in his two efforts since resuming and he is a very smart horse when racing at his peak so he must be respected. SWEETPASSION (6), RAGING WHITEBAIT (7) and RAKERO SLAMMER (8) are all capable of showing up without surprising. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 1,3,4,5 RATINGS: 5/ 1,2/ 11/ 6,7,8/ 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SMOKEN ACE (5) is a fast beginner and has been racing against strong opposition. He worked hard early before gaining cover when second behind Fighter Command then held his own in sizzling final sectionals when fourth behind The Narcissist last week. He should be competitive against this line up. REPELLING (2) was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished off solidly for third behind Meteor Moth last outing. He performs best when he is close to the lead and is racing consistently so he is worth an investment. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (1) took on the open class when seventh behind Tango Tara last week. This race is easier and he finished second from behind the leader two starts ago so he warrants respect. ROARFORROSCOE (11) hasn’t had much luck in his two efforts since resuming and he is a very smart horse when racing at his peak so he must be respected. SWEETPASSION (6), RAGING WHITEBAIT (7) and RAKERO SLAMMER (8) are all capable of showing up without surprising. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 1,3,4,5 RATINGS: 5/ 1,2/ 11/ 6,7,8/ 4

OVERVIEW: SMOKEN ACE (5) is a fast beginner and has been racing against strong opposition. He worked hard early before gaining cover when second behind Fighter Command then held his own in sizzling final sectionals when fourth behind The Narcissist last week. He should be competitive against this line up. REPELLING (2) was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished off solidly for third behind Meteor Moth last outing. He performs best when he is close to the lead and is racing consistently so he is worth an investment. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (1) took on the open class when seventh behind Tango Tara last week. This race is easier and he finished second from behind the leader two starts ago so he warrants respect. ROARFORROSCOE (11) hasn’t had much luck in his two efforts since resuming and he is a very smart horse when racing at his peak so he must be respected. SWEETPASSION (6), RAGING WHITEBAIT (7) and RAKERO SLAMMER (8) are all capable of showing up without surprising. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 1,3,4,5 RATINGS: 5/ 1,2/ 11/ 6,7,8/ 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SMOKEN ACE (5) is a fast beginner and has been racing against strong opposition. He worked hard early before gaining cover when second behind Fighter Command then held his own in sizzling final sectionals when fourth behind The Narcissist last week. He should be competitive against this line up. REPELLING (2) was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished off solidly for third behind Meteor Moth last outing. He performs best when he is close to the lead and is racing consistently so he is worth an investment. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (1) took on the open class when seventh behind Tango Tara last week. This race is easier and he finished second from behind the leader two starts ago so he warrants respect. ROARFORROSCOE (11) hasn’t had much luck in his two efforts since resuming and he is a very smart horse when racing at his peak so he must be respected. SWEETPASSION (6), RAGING WHITEBAIT (7) and RAKERO SLAMMER (8) are all capable of showing up without surprising. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 1,3,4,5 RATINGS: 5/ 1,2/ 11/ 6,7,8/ 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SMOKEN ACE (5) is a fast beginner and has been racing against strong opposition. He worked hard early before gaining cover when second behind Fighter Command then held his own in sizzling final sectionals when fourth behind The Narcissist last week. He should be competitive against this line up. REPELLING (2) was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished off solidly for third behind Meteor Moth last outing. He performs best when he is close to the lead and is racing consistently so he is worth an investment. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (1) took on the open class when seventh behind Tango Tara last week. This race is easier and he finished second from behind the leader two starts ago so he warrants respect. ROARFORROSCOE (11) hasn’t had much luck in his two efforts since resuming and he is a very smart horse when racing at his peak so he must be respected. SWEETPASSION (6), RAGING WHITEBAIT (7) and RAKERO SLAMMER (8) are all capable of showing up without surprising. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 1,3,4,5 RATINGS: 5/ 1,2/ 11/ 6,7,8/ 4
