RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HARLEY LANE (8) has been chasing home some of the top 3yo fillies and racing well. This is a much easier assignment and just needs a few breaks and should prove hard to hold out. ROCKNMETRO (9) in good form and gets a nice trailing draw to be fighting out the finish. Definite chance. SEGUI LE STELLA (2) getting fitter and good effort last start and will appreciate the front-line draw. Does have gate speed and expect a good showing along with GUARANTEED TROUBLE (4) that can be prominent throughout and must be respected. Both TED BEAR (6) and BLAZIN BY (5) have ability and will be running on late. EARLY SPEED: 2,4 RATINGS: 8/ 9/ 2/ 4/ 6/ 5
