Race comment
OVERVIEW: LAYDEN (2) has the standout best sectional times in this field. This is the best barrier he has had in a while, which he can use to his advantage here. KEAYANG WASABI (7) is a smart, well-bred gelding who has had a lot of setbacks in his career. He’s only had four starts since December 2024. Last start he won, which will have helped his confidence. He will continue to improve with fitness. RICK REILLY (1) has the gate speed and the ace barrier to use to his advantage here. He is first up for Alex Ashwood and will suit the fence run. SOHO DARKNSTORMY (6) is a smart performer with brilliant gate speed at his best. He raced in the Group 3 4YO Bonanza last start in very fast time. It seems a better race for him here, but he will need to overcome an awkward barrier.

OVERVIEW: LAYDEN (2) has the standout best sectional times in this field. This is the best barrier he has had in a while, which he can use to his advantage here. KEAYANG WASABI (7) is a smart, well-bred gelding who has had a lot of setbacks in his career. He’s only had four starts since December 2024. Last start he won, which will have helped his confidence. He will continue to improve with fitness. RICK REILLY (1) has the gate speed and the ace barrier to use to his advantage here. He is first up for Alex Ashwood and will suit the fence run. SOHO DARKNSTORMY (6) is a smart performer with brilliant gate speed at his best. He raced in the Group 3 4YO Bonanza last start in very fast time. It seems a better race for him here, but he will need to overcome an awkward barrier.

KEAYANG WASABI (7) is a smart, well-bred gelding who has had a lot of setbacks in his career. He’s only had four starts since December 2024. Last start he won, which will have helped his confidence. He will continue to improve with fitness. RICK REILLY (1) has the gate speed and the ace barrier to use to his advantage here. He is first up for Alex Ashwood and will suit the fence run. SOHO DARKNSTORMY (6) is a smart performer with brilliant gate speed at his best. He raced in the Group 3 4YO Bonanza last start in very fast time. It seems a better race for him here, but he will need to overcome an awkward barrier.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: LAYDEN (2) has the standout best sectional times in this field. This is the best barrier he has had in a while, which he can use to his advantage here. KEAYANG WASABI (7) is a smart, well-bred gelding who has had a lot of setbacks in his career. He’s only had four starts since December 2024. Last start he won, which will have helped his confidence. He will continue to improve with fitness. RICK REILLY (1) has the gate speed and the ace barrier to use to his advantage here. He is first up for Alex Ashwood and will suit the fence run. SOHO DARKNSTORMY (6) is a smart performer with brilliant gate speed at his best. He raced in the Group 3 4YO Bonanza last start in very fast time. It seems a better race for him here, but he will need to overcome an awkward barrier.
