RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ALRIGHTY (10) barely could have been more impressive in his two starts this campaign, both of which have resulted in powerful front-running victories. First-up over 1720m, he led and darted clear to score by 15.2m, and then trucked along at the top over 2240m last weekend to prevail by 25.1m. He won’t lead this contest from the back row, but he must go on top based on those two wins. VYTIS (9) has been really good his two runs after a win, coming from well back for fifth behind Hoppy and then third despite some bad luck behind ALRIGHTY (10) last Saturday. He’s a genuine danger given his slight draw advantage on that aforementioned rival. MUSKEE (8) was great winning last time at Melton while beating four rivals that reoppose, and FREIGHT SHAKER (5) might be the first horse to the front and would be a player for the minor end of trifectas and First 4s from there.
