RACE COMMENT
This is a 69-79 rated affair and it’s a tough one. LOU BABY (4) has created a good impression in two local wins in easier company but has the draw to rise to the occasion again. ANOTHER NIEN (8) drops in grade and gets the soft trip so only needs a crack at them to get over the top late. MADDIS TIGER (1) will be fitter and draws ideally so gets his chance to go one better. LETSGOBRO (5), ROYAL APPOINTMENT (7) and WE SALUTE YOU (11) are a quartet to include for the wider exotic placings.TOP PICK: Another Nien (8) is the one to beat.DANGERS: Lou Baby (4) is a danger along with Maddis Tiger (1).ROUGHIE: Royal Appointment (7) will be odds and if brings his best wouldn’t shock.RATINGS: 8-1 4-3 5 7 11 12-6 9 10EXOTIC BET: Trifecta 8-1 3 4 5 7 11 12-1 3 4 5 7 11 12 $21 flexi 50%LIKELY LEADER: Lou Baby will look to work across Maddis Tiger early with Letsgobro a sneaky chance of crossing.
