RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: I AM THE STORM (3) returned from a little freshen with victory last Saturday night at Melton courtesy of a great Mark Pitt drive. He was able to weave a passage away from the inside and find the early lead from barrier eight, with the four-year-old pacer hanging on to score his third-straight win to start the campaign. You’d assume he works to the front again here, and from there must be the horse to beat. PERUN (1) gets the nice gate and ran a cracking second from this spot behind Sir Jimmy two starts back, SOHO DARKNSTORMY (5) will likely try fly across to the top like he did last weekend when third to Fairplay, and reigning Ararat Pacing Cup champion ATA RANGI (6) was buried away back on the fence in that same race but can improve on that first-up fifth with a different race shape.
