RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FEEL THE REIGN (8) seems well placed as the winningest horse in this race, and his last couple of runs have been encouraging. These concession-driver races often rotate the same horses, so he looks to bring different form. He races well when he can come with one burst, so if he gets the breaks, he can flash late. OUR MYSTERY BET (6) continues to race well and is also performing better on the clock sectionally; he just doesn’t seem to crack it for a win. This race does appear suitable and, with the right run, he will be tough in the finish. THE IRISHMAN (1) was a good winner here four starts back when sitting parked and was too strong for his rivals, albeit in easier grade. He should get a good map and give plenty of cheek. REGAL ROCK (5) can show speed from this draw and is a winner at this track when finding the top. He hasn’t saluted since February, but if he gets the right passage he could improve.
