RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MISS ARI (7) found the front, handed to favourite Most Exciting and sprinted past him in a slick mile rate of 1:52.9 at Melton a fortnight ago in what was a great win with a huge margin back to third. The first-up run prior was full of merit despite being in an impossible position turning for home, and the lead-up trial before that was outstanding. She’s a very good mare and I’m happily in her corner despite the wide gate. THE LAST TRIP (1) steps out for his first run since January 2025. He’s also first-up for the Emma Stewart stable, and while his trial was sound without being brilliant at Melton recently, you must respect this stable. The team is so good at producing horses like this to win following long breaks. GUNFORHIRE (5) was a hard luck story last time out when he might have won with clear air and his form this campaign is really good, while IN AN IDEAL WORLD (3) has claims but is most likely only a place candidate. BACK: MISS ARI (7) – 3 units (win)
