RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: THE ART OF SUCCESS (3) is a really progressive mare from the Emma Stewart barn who is looking to land a sixth-straight win. There were questions around her gate speed last time, but she led easily and won in good style. I expect her to find the top here and she might be too good again. Stablemate STORMS COLLIDE (7) was among the top echelon of pacers in this state at two and three, and returns to the races for his first start as a four-year-old. He has two good trials to his name and is sure to run well. SOAP AND BUBBBLES (1) draws for a great trip and is in top form, while LE BELLE BIJOUX (2) is also racing well and won’t be far away.
