RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MAJOR BLITZ (7) is a talented performer who is second up this year. He won well last start when leading from barrier one. This is a trickier draw, but he has the class and excellent gate speed. RANGER RICK (4) has had two starts this year for two big performances at decent odds. He is racing like he is ready to get back into the winners’ circle. GUNFORHIRE (5) is a brilliant swooper and if saved for one run can be flashing home well. SCHERGER THAT (6) has been good at his past two starts at Melton. If saved for one run, he could be flashing home late. FEEL THE REIGN (1) is an experienced performer who will appreciate barrier one here. BACK: MAJOR BLITZ (7) – 2.5 units (win)
