RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Semi-final two of the two-year-old boys’ series will see CARDIGAN SNIPER (1) a warm favourite. And it’s deservedly so. He won the $100,000 APG final and $20,000 Youthful Stakes before finding the top and being too strong in his VSS heat last Friday. He draws well, looks to have enough speed to lead and from there will take an awful lot of beating. KINGS GALLERY (9) was perhaps a little disappointing when fourth in his heat behind SOME HIGH (11), but can be forgiven one plain run. He won his two starts prior in good style, chased home Emma Stewart-trained rivals for second in the four outings before that and is a classy type. From the nice trailing draw, he can be a factor. SOME HIGH (11) worked to the top and never looked like being beaten when winning his heat. Barrier 11 isn’t as easy, but he has barely put a foot wrong in five career starts. They look the winning contenders, with FARROH JOE (5) perhaps the best of the rest after his encouraging second placing behind Smack Bang Bart last Friday. ALLOA (2) and BAYSTYLE (3) are other leading place chances.
