OVERVIEW: THE NARCISSIST (8) couldn’t have drawn any worse but he remains undefeated in eight starts since joining trainer Emma Stewart including a victory in the Melton Plate. He has been able to break the magical 1.50.0 barrier at Menangle so has the class edge on his rivals. FIGHTER COMMAND (10) came from last and was very wide on the home turn when he finished powerfully for an eye-catching fourth behind Rakero Rebel in an open class event last outing. He was a big winner at Menangle prior and he boasts a very good strike rate so he looms as the logical danger. BETTOR ISOLATE (9) appreciated a drop back in class when he scored at Horsham after some respectable performances against the open grade at Melton. He possesses high speed and is not to be underestimated. SMOKEN ACE (3) and SIR JIMMY (4) are both fast beginners and are in peak form so they should go well from their good draw. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,4,7 RATINGS: 8/ 10/ 3,4,9/ 1/ 6

OVERVIEW: THE NARCISSIST (8) couldn’t have drawn any worse but he remains undefeated in eight starts since joining trainer Emma Stewart including a victory in the Melton Plate. He has been able to break the magical 1.50.0 barrier at Menangle so has the class edge on his rivals. FIGHTER COMMAND (10) came from last and was very wide on the home turn when he finished powerfully for an eye-catching fourth behind Rakero Rebel in an open class event last outing. He was a big winner at Menangle prior and he boasts a very good strike rate so he looms as the logical danger. BETTOR ISOLATE (9) appreciated a drop back in class when he scored at Horsham after some respectable performances against the open grade at Melton. He possesses high speed and is not to be underestimated. SMOKEN ACE (3) and SIR JIMMY (4) are both fast beginners and are in peak form so they should go well from their good draw.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: THE NARCISSIST (8) couldn’t have drawn any worse but he remains undefeated in eight starts since joining trainer Emma Stewart including a victory in the Melton Plate. He has been able to break the magical 1.50.0 barrier at Menangle so has the class edge on his rivals. FIGHTER COMMAND (10) came from last and was very wide on the home turn when he finished powerfully for an eye-catching fourth behind Rakero Rebel in an open class event last outing. He was a big winner at Menangle prior and he boasts a very good strike rate so he looms as the logical danger. BETTOR ISOLATE (9) appreciated a drop back in class when he scored at Horsham after some respectable performances against the open grade at Melton. He possesses high speed and is not to be underestimated. SMOKEN ACE (3) and SIR JIMMY (4) are both fast beginners and are in peak form so they should go well from their good draw. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,4,7 RATINGS: 8/ 10/ 3,4,9/ 1/ 6
