RACE COMMENT
A quick fast front row here, so expecting a very fast first quarter over the mile. SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (1) had no luck last start at Scottsdale, and looks to get a nice trailing pegs run, most likely behind stablemate MODERN JIVE (2), who couldn’t finish off after a fast 27.5 quarter early last start. IMPERIAL LAZ (4) and WILL HE PIKE (3) both possess great gate speed and expect them to also come out looking for a forward position also. YARECKON IM SWEET (4) and COOLANDCOLLECT (6) both made some ground on the pegs last start, and look like needing to do the same here. SUE NIEN (2) was a good 2nd first up, and should be suited by the nice trailing draw, whilst SIR NIPPA (11) hasn’t had things go his way in both runs in the state, but been well supported both times so would expect a forward showing if he behaved.Selections SUE NIEN (9), SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (1), IMPERIAL LAZ (4), SIR NIPPA (11)
