RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FLIP A COIN (9) is a consistent 3yo that is racing well and is never far away. Gets a nice trailing draw and should enjoy a good trip and looks a major chance. ARRAPS (2) is racing well and draws nicely to utilise his gate speed and expect a big showing and should be fighting out the finish. ELATED (5) good effort last start and can keep improving. Has claims in this. FEEL THE KNIGHT (1) drawn to get a soft trip and should settle behind the lead. Will get every chance and is amongst the place and first four hopes. EPIC ORION (7) will strip fitter for his first up run and can be an improver here. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3,4 RATINGS: 9/ 2/ 5/ 1/ 7
