RACE COMMENT
 A very strong Scottsdale Cup with many high rating horses drawing well off the front mark, with the race being handicapped off lifetime wins. MAEBEE (2) has been racing very well in open class features of late without winning, but this might be his chance to break through if he pinged to the top. HORATIUS SPECULO (5) begin safely at the trials from the stand, and may be suited to starting out wide on the track. He couldn’t have done much more the past few months going through his grades, but this is his biggest test, especially around the tight Scottsdale circuit. IRON CLAD (1) form has tapered off slightly since his good Golden Apple heat win, but gets his chance from the pole draw with a safe beginning, and I’m expecting he’ll be there in the finish at each way odds. ZARA TINDALL (3) was very good off 40m last week, and will be in the finish if she handles the quick back up over another long trip, whilst MY WAY (6) might get a suck run on the pegs and could be dangerous if gaps appear. NEON (8) had a perfect run in transit to take out the St Marys Cup last week, but would need a similar run to win again, as I think it’s a much harder field.Selections  IRON CLAD (1), MAEBEE (2), HORATIUS SPECULO (5), MY WAY (6)
