RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: METRO SWISH (3) has great gate speed and looks the likely leader. She is racing well and should enjoy a favourable race map. MOREEP (10) has occasionally let herself down with her manners, but some of her performances on the clock have been excellent. If she can settle and trot throughout, she is a genuine winning chance. BUCKLES FOR BERRY (6) is a competitive trotting mare when she does everything right. She will need some luck from the barrier, but has the ability to feature. SIOUX WARRIOR (2) is a well-bred trotter prepared by leading trainer Jess Tubbs. He has plenty of ability, but can still race a little green. If he brings his best manners, he is a major threat. SNICKERS EXPRESS (4) and KICKABARREL (1) are also first four chances here. BACK: METRO SWISH (3) – 2 units (win)
