RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: First heat of the Need For Speed Prince for the three-year-old trotting boys which leads to a Group 1 final on October 10 and UNCLAD (2) gets the marginal nod from the good gate. He was the clear standout of the four horses that clashed in the Vicbred Super Series final on September 12, bursting clear from four back the fence approaching the turn and rattling into second behind Howdy Mate. He should get to the pegs, and from in front or behind the leader he will be very hard to hold out. MUNNY THE MUNSTER (3) was caught parked in that Vicbred decider but ran a good race to only be beaten 14.9m, and would be tough to chase down if he got the top. MISTER DEVEREAUX (8) is a top trotter on the rise, and while he didn’t have much chance from a horror draw in that Vicbred final, he cut ground off Pastor Dunbar when second in his heat in what was a much better run than UNCLAD (2) on his back. THE PREACHER (6) is the other key winning hope, but unless he can cross to the fence, it might be too hard from gate six.
