OVERVIEW: VINEY (3) began fast to find the lead, ran along at a genuine tempo and won comfortably in a slick mile rate of 1.52.1 on Saturday night. It was a career best effort last time out and a repeat performance will see him winning again. ALWAYS A SHOWMAN (2) is much better drawn than his latest third behind VINEY (3) and he possesses early speed so he appears to be a strong Quinella chance. ATA RANGI (6) was resuming since June when sixth behind Strapping Red last week. He has been placed in eleven of his thirteen starts for the season and should be fitter for this event so he must be considered. WATTLEBANK ARNIE (5) finished off quickly for third behind Day Two last week and is worth a place ticket along with CRIME WRITER (8).

Race comment
OVERVIEW: VINEY (3) began fast to find the lead, ran along at a genuine tempo and won comfortably in a slick mile rate of 1.52.1 on Saturday night. It was a career best effort last time out and a repeat performance will see him winning again. ALWAYS A SHOWMAN (2) is much better drawn than his latest third behind VINEY (3) and he possesses early speed so he appears to be a strong Quinella chance. ATA RANGI (6) was resuming since June when sixth behind Strapping Red last week. He has been placed in eleven of his thirteen starts for the season and should be fitter for this event so he must be considered. WATTLEBANK ARNIE (5) finished off quickly for third behind Day Two last week and is worth a place ticket along with CRIME WRITER (8). EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 2,6,7 RATINGS: 3/ 2,6/ 5/ 8/ 7/ FIELD
