RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Very tricky event here where plenty can win a race where the speed map looks to have plenty of scenarios. PROHIBITED GRACE (2) should be able to find the fence, but has taken a sit in her past couple so I assume a few will come knocking. ALDEBARAN ABEL (3) might get the chance to work across, and if that’s the case then he becomes the horse to beat. He ran well last time when only grabbed late by Ijustcalledtosay, who has come out and won again since. He’s a handy trotter who won well over the sprint trip early in the campaign and he’s narrowly favoured. FREIGHT SHAKER (7) ran well for fourth in a stronger race than this first-up and must be a factor despite the wide gate, JUST AS I AM (4) has ability, good gate speed and might be a player for the front, while PROHIBTED GRACE (2) continually runs well and is a key chance along with last-start winner KYVALLEY MICHAEL (6) and ROCKY VALLEY (9).
