RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: THUNDA STRUCK (1) has had a terrible run with the barrier draw recently and the last time he drew on the pole position, he was successful, so he is worth thought under these conditions. ALRIGHTY (2) led throughout to win last week and will be strongly fancied. It is a faster front row this evening however and he is no guarantee of finding the lead in a stronger field so the start will be crucial to his chances. EL RESAMO (5) has been racing against strong opposition and is a genuine front running type so he is likely to give a forward showing. SEBASTIANS BOY (8) is a very smart horse when he is able to put it altogether but he has a few gait issues at the start. He has put in several big efforts this preparation despite finishing unplaced in all six attempts and is a winning chance if he delivers a fool proof display. MORE WANTED (6) is a very quick beginner and his chances will be enhanced if he can get across to the markers shortly after the start. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 2,6 RATINGS: 1,2/ 5,8/ 6/ 3,4
