RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Difficult and wide-open event to start the night of racing at Melton where not much would surprise. While the gate isn’t ideal, I’ve sided with PRINCESS ARNA (7), who ran a good race in behind the leader at Charlton last time out and was brave from the chair before that. She did work and found the front to win a race back in mid-November, and she looks a fairly reliable way to start the card. ITTAKESLUV (10) won at Horsham in mid-November also and has been competitive of late, KIDWITHAGRIN (2) can be a sharp improver at odds given he has been held up in a host of recent runs and looks a likely leader, while FEEL THE BUZZ (4) heads a stack of other chances in a race where a field ticket wouldn’t be the worst way to start the Early Quaddie.
