RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ALLWATFUNJINGLES (2) was rewarded for a string of tenacious efforts with a deserved victory last start, and he did it impressively. He looks well placed again here with the claim and should be able to race prominently over the short trip. This race doesn’t appear any harder than the one he won. MASSIF CENTRAL (3) is a brilliant beginner who loves leading over the mile, winning two of his past four in those circumstances. He also benefits from the junior concession and if he crosses comfortably, he’ll take catching. RHYMES (12) can be a little unreliable in his gait, but when he trots cleanly, he produces strong performances. His past two runs have rated well on the clock and despite the draw he can work home hard late. AT THE DISTANCE (8) comes from a strong trainer-driver combination and improved sharply last start when runner-up, though the awkward draw is a concern.
