RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ANIMADO (4) strikes his most suitable race in some time and maps well from this draw. He’s been contesting fast-run races, and this opposition doesn’t appear to possess the same depth. The middle-distance trip also suits him better than the short-course races he’s been contesting recently. FEAR THE POWER (1) has been racing better than his numerical form suggests. Last start under unsuitable conditions he found the line strongly and now returns to the pole draw from which he scored his most recent win. IM BIG BUISNESS (5) caused an upset here last week, coming from off the speed with a strong finishing burst. A repeat effort puts him in the mix. TIVOLI (6) won three starts ago, but her past two have been below her best. She returns to a more suitable grade and can improve.
