RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: THE VILLAIN (2) has had two runs for the new stable and both have been good in tougher company than he meets here. Stable and driver have a good record together and can map to get the right run here either in front or behind leader . ROBLEN RANGER (1) is the quickest beginner, and tactics play a part in his chances whether he’s happy to sit on The Villian over the middle distance. He shapes as the main danger. MIKISPUR (3) has gained attention his past couple, and he races well this track. If he brings his best he’s right in it. GOODTIME CAPTAIN (7) just can’t get the right draw or set-up, but he goes ok and is in it with even luck. BACK: THE VILLAIN (2) – 3 units (win)
