RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: IJUSTCALLEDTOSAY (1) showed a major turnaround in form when he sprinted sharply from off the pace to win impressively at Melton last week and this shapes as another suitable assignment from the good draw. He has good gate speed and should either lead or sit leader’s back on quick beginner PRETTYBOY HARRY (4), and from there will take plenty of holding out based on his most recent effort. I’m a big fan of CARLA PIXIE (9) this preparation, and she continued her good run of form with a closing third from three back the fence in a good race at Melton last start. She should get a nice trip here and will give this a real shake if the tempo is genuine. PRETTYBOY HARRY (4) couldn’t lead last time and was trapped parked before dropping out, but his prior form from the front was very good, while NAKEDTRUTH (8) is running well of late and looks set to get a nice position on the pegs to be dangerous in the straight.
