RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: THE NAKED ART (9) worked to the chair and sat parked to win a heat of a NMW series here on August 15 in what was a brilliant display, and then had her chances cruelled by a bad gate in the final yet still managed to close hard for fourth behind The Last Trip. She’s been flying for a some time now and looks poised to run another big race from the nice trailing draw. HIGHLANDHARTBREAKA (10) landed the one-one and wore down his stablemate to win over 1200m last Friday night and is a handy type who is often running home soundly, LOUGLE (12) was brilliant coming from the back of the field for third behind THE NAKED ART (9) in that aforementioned heat and backed it up with another close-up third from the front in the final, while TALERN LOFTY (1) draws to hold the front if David Miles desires and can give a sight over the 1720m. Others wouldn’t shock, including KING SAINT (4), SAVON DE ROCHE (5) and ROYAL APPOINTMENT (11). BACK: THE NAKED ART (9) – 1 unit (win)
