RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FINAL BOW (4) was very brave holding off the challengers last start and looks well poised again to be settle on the speed and should prove hard to beat. Both ANYWHEREIGOHUGO (11) and G B BRAVE (10) ran very well last start and will be running on late and can pose as threats again. CARUSO STAR (9) good effort when first up and wasn’t far away. Fitter, gets a nice trailing draw and will be closing late. GUARANTEED TROUBLE (8) in very good form faces an awkward inside second row draw but if the breaks come his way he can figure in the finish. CHASING THE WIND (3) BLUE MIKI (5) DANCINGONSTARLIGHT (7) and PRECIOUS BELLE (6) haven’t been far away and are amongst the place chances whilst QUICK DECISION (1) and VILLAGE VOICE (12) are first four hopes. EARLY SPEED: 2,4,5 RATINGS: 4/ 11/ 10/ 9/ 8/ 3/ 5/ 7/ 6/ 1/ 12
