RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BLACKINDEED (2) resumes here and does have a favourable draw and normally races well fresh. Suited by the sprint trip and can fight out the finish. SALSAWITHSIERRA (1) ideally drawn from the pole position and will strip fitter and get every chance, Don’t ignore. OCEANIQUE (3) REALLY SMARTIE (5) and BEST BACK BRUCE (11) are racing well and must be respected. AVEIRO (6) has been teasing for a while but could be a big improver here. Would not surprise. WICHITA KANSAS (7) BONA KHAN (13) SASSYOLA (8) OUR TRUE COLOURS (10) and NEDS BEACH (12) all have ability and have place and first four claims. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3,5 RATINGS: 2/ 1/ 3/ 5/ 11/ 6/ 7/ 13/ 8/ 10/ 12
