RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: EVILEYE (8) is a versatile mare who should be suited by the expected early speed despite the back-row draw. She won five starts ago with a blistering finish and may get the chance to reproduce that here. Her numerical form doesn’t jump off the page, but her recent sectionals have been excellent, particularly last week when she kept coming in a fast final half. SOHO HUDSON (7) was brave last start after working hard from the back row and sticking on strongly for second. He has ability but also quirks and faces another tough draw. BREATHE EASY (2) drops back into more suitable company and his prior efforts in this grade were strong. KYORETSU (3) may press for the lead but there are several other speed influences. He’s racing well but this is slightly tougher.
