RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MISTER BLINDSIDE (6) resumes here since April and has been a quirky trotter throughout his early career possessing his share of vices however there is no denying his natural talent.  Strikes a very suitable race and the sprint trip should suit. Hard to hold out on his best manners. CALL ME JACK (5) is racing very well and bursting to win for trainer Matt Purcell. Not blessed with early speed however there is a lack of speed from the front line and if he can find a spot early, he’s a major player again.  ROCKY VALLEY (8) has the class to figure in the finish and will need some luck from inside the second-row draw. NAKEDTRUTH (10) good effort to win from the front line draw last start and will be running on along with PREFERRED LOVE (12) and both must be respected. CENTURION DREAM (3) OX KNOX (4) and MAESTRO (1) have front line draws to be in this for a long way whilst DEEJAY DEX (13) strips fitter and does have loads of talent and could be a blowout chance. EARLY SPEED: 1,3,4,6 RATINGS: 6/ 5/ 8/ 10/ 12/ 3/ 4/ 13
