RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MOMENTUM SHIFT (11) has been flying despite no luck with barrier draws and racing in tough company. He has a tough draw again over the short trip here but is a placegetter at this track when most unlucky from a similar draw. His metropolitan sectionals are good enough to win this. SPORTS NARRATOR (2) may have a look for the lead here, and if he finds the top over the short trip will take some running down. WITH IN REASON (9) is one of the most honest horses racing in the region, and although perceived as better over the longer trips due to his toughness, did win over the mile in quick time last start. LILSTREPO (12) was beaten a long way last start but was a victim of circumstances; her prior form was very good. BACK: MOMENTUM SHIFT (11) – 1 unit (win)
