RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SOHO DARKNSTORMY (7) is the key runner and form reference in a great little race to start the main Quaddie. He led from this draw over the 2240m at Melton on August 22 and was beaten home into fourth by PESCI (6), GOOD TOBE LOCKSLEY (4) and CLYMENUS (2) who all reoppose. Last time out, over the 1720m trip, he led again and actually held on to beat HITTHEROADJACK (1), OUR VINCENT CAN GOGH (3), PESCI (6) and ATA RANGI (5). So what happens here? Well, you’d assume he leads again and gives a great sight, but perhaps gets tired in the concluding stages and gives his rivals a chance. Given it’s over the middle trip again, I’ll side with HITTHEROADJACK (1), who is one-paced but going well and draws for a great trip on the fence. GOOD TOBE LOCKSLEY (4) charged late from three back the fence for second behind PESCI (6) last time, while CLYMENUS (2) rarely runs a bad race and needs things to go his way, but is a winning factor.
