RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SAM NIEN (9) defeated IJUSTCALLEDTOSAY (13) in the Nutrien Classic back in September. He was placed in the Need for Speed Prince Final on October 04 and he bounced back from his disappointing heat effort when third against the Metropolitan class trotters at Geelong last week. He is more fool proof than his two main rivals in ALRIGHTY (10) and IJUSTCALLEDTOSAY (13) so he gains top billing. IJUSTCALLEDTOSAY (13) won a heat of the Need For Speed Prince series on September 24 then has made errors or has enjoyed no luck whatsoever at his next four attempts. He is a quality 3yo and must be considered amongst the leading chances. ALRIGHTY (10) tends to perform best when he is able to lead so being drawn on the second row is a disadvantage but his overall form is strong enough to be competitive against this line up. He broke stride at the 1800m and lost his chance in his heat but he led throughout in a handy mile rate of 1.57.9 prior. If the emergency VYTIS (6) gains a start, he will prove hard to beat. He was seemingly going to run second in his heat behind the eventual Grand Final winner in Mecarno but he was checked and broke stride on the home turn. HODY MOKE (2) should go well from his handy draw. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 5,7 RATINGS: 9/ 6,10,13/ 2/ 7
