RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: THE IRON DUKE (10) produced an outstanding run when second behind It’s Confidential last week in a slick mile rate of 1.53.3. He settled in a rearward position, angled wide on the home turn and made up many lengths in the home straight. He is likely to settle in the second half of the field again but is worth an investment on that performance. EASTBRO KOZZY (3) chased gamely when a gallant third behind the smart pacer Storms Collide last outing. He is a consistent pacer and is drawn to gain a trail just off the speed again so he is worth an investment. ALWAYS DANCING (11) won five races in succession before his past two second placed efforts against the Metropolitan 3yo grade. He usually performs best in the leading role so being drawn on the second line is a disadvantage but he is racing too well to dismiss. TARA VICTORY (5) settled down last and was the widest runner on the home turn so she put in a very tidy display despite finishing sixth last week. She is racing in good form and looms as a value hope.   EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely early leader), 4,5,6 RATINGS: 10/ 3,11/ 5/ 7,9/ 4,6
