RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ALDEBARAN SUSANNE (7) will find this a much easier assignment than her past two starts and expect a strong showing. LEANNE LEEANN (4) has been racing against stronger opposition and is sure to make her presence felt. Can fight out the finish. OK KNOX (10) recent starts suggest he’s working up to a win and suited here. Definite chance. DELS DESTINY (8) racing well and finished off strongly to win last start and expect a similar showing here despite an awkward draw. SOLOTREK (5) is a lightly raced trotter that has plenty more scope for improvement and will strip much fitter for this. On the up and can run well. Each way. SCAR (6) can be very hit or miss but his best form can have him in the finish. Take on trust. HES THEMIGHTYSPIN (11) veteran trotter that has his share of vices but was a recent trial winner and can never be ruled out. DESERT ASSASSIN (9) resumes and does have good ability when right and can run well fresh. SPANISH RIZARDO (2) strips fitter and can improve along with REGINALDS REIGN (3). FLING IT RAINBOW (1) last start winner. Harder here but can give a sight. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,4,6,7 RATINGS: 7/ 4/ 10/ 8/ 5/ 6/ 11/ 9/ 2/ 3/ 1
