Race comment
OVERVIEW: SMOKEN ACE (7) progressed forward to race without cover and dominated his rivals last week, smashing the track record in the process (1.51.2). That was clearly his best run this preparation and a repeat performance will see him going close again. CALEXICO (6) was driven very aggressively to find the lead in the Super Series Final and produced a very good performance to finish fifth (3m) in an outstanding mile rate of 1.52.8 (2240m) last outing. He is a very capable 3yo and is sure to make his presence felt. SWEETNIKKILOU (9) trailed the leader and battled on well for second in the open class event won by Petracca last week. She finished third in the Super Series Final prior and should be competitive again. TWISTING BY (1) and SWEETPASSION (2) both performed well enough at their latest attempt to be considered as winning hopes. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 3,7 RATINGS: 6,7/ 9/ 1,2/ 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SMOKEN ACE (7) progressed forward to race without cover and dominated his rivals last week, smashing the track record in the process (1.51.2). That was clearly his best run this preparation and a repeat performance will see him going close again. CALEXICO (6) was driven very aggressively to find the lead in the Super Series Final and produced a very good performance to finish fifth (3m) in an outstanding mile rate of 1.52.8 (2240m) last outing. He is a very capable 3yo and is sure to make his presence felt. SWEETNIKKILOU (9) trailed the leader and battled on well for second in the open class event won by Petracca last week. She finished third in the Super Series Final prior and should be competitive again. TWISTING BY (1) and SWEETPASSION (2) both performed well enough at their latest attempt to be considered as winning hopes. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 3,7 RATINGS: 6,7/ 9/ 1,2/ 4

That was clearly his best run this preparation and a repeat performance will see him going close again. CALEXICO (6) was driven very aggressively to find the lead in the Super Series Final and produced a very good performance to finish fifth (3m) in an outstanding mile rate of 1.52.8 (2240m) last outing. He is a very capable 3yo and is sure to make his presence felt. SWEETNIKKILOU (9) trailed the leader and battled on well for second in the open class event won by Petracca last week. She finished third in the Super Series Final prior and should be competitive again. TWISTING BY (1) and SWEETPASSION (2) both performed well enough at their latest attempt to be considered as winning hopes. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 3,7 RATINGS: 6,7/ 9/ 1,2/ 4
