RACE COMMENT

MUFASA METRO (5) was able to lead and run along last start at Albion Park over the 1660 and was only beaten by what may have been the best run by a Trotter ever around Albion Park with Not As Promised sitting without cover and rating an incredible 1.52.4 mile rate setting a new track record. There’s no Not As Promised in this race and he looks likely to be able to work his way to the front which would see him extremely hard to run down in this company. MCGEE (2) has good ability and has been thereabouts nearly every run this campaign. He is making a big step up in grade in this race taking on the likes of Mufasa Metro and Love Gun who have both performed well in Inter Dominions. He should be able to work to the lead early before having options from there.  LOVE GUN (4) was a dominant winner five starts ago when leading all the way from the stand start. He was impressive through his latest Inter Dominion campaign appearing to seamlessly make the step up to racing at Grand Circuit level having been a smart trotter as a juvenile horse. He hasn’t had the best of luck in recent starts and should be hard to beat with the right run into this race.  BERRIESANDCHERRIES (6) ran well last start from a good gate in a race they set a new track record for the trotters. She looks likely to secure a good run through early on the pegs and can be running into it late when the gaps likely appear over the 2550m trip.
