RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: REPELLING (3) gets another chance here to race on the speed and give a big sight. Hasn’t been far away and is a definite each way chance. SMOKEN ACE (6) frustrating pacer that has his share of quirks. He disappointed last start but his prior form was suggesting that he was ready to win. His best form wins this, but he needs to produce it! SWEET IDEAL (7) certainly didn’t run to best last start, should drop out here from the wide draw and it appears her best racing pattern is when driven that way. She’s too good to dismiss and she will be storming home late! STRAPPING RED (4) up in class but going very well! Sits just behind the speed here and won’t be far away. LOUIE LOU I (9) capable pacer but appears to be racing just below his best. Strikes a suitable race to get back into form and should be running here! MY UNCLE STAN (1) gets the right draw over the sprint trip and does have a good record in these map situations however the rise in class is the major query! EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3,4 RATINGS: 3/ 6/ 7/ 4/ 9/ 1
