RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: This is another concession drivers’ race, this time for the trotters. BROOKLYNGOTCOURAGE (4) brings what few others do in this race, and that’s current winning form. His victory two back was quite good when he was able to find the front and beat a similar-quality field to what he meets here. The stable thought enough of him to have a shot at the Vicbred last month, and the fact Riley Pace was a winner on him under normal conditions, against his junior rivals this time, appeals. PATNWILL (1) is up in grade, but he is a quick beginner suited by the mile. He was able to lead all the way from an inside draw at Melton five runs back, and a repeat of that will see him hard to catch. They appear to be the main winning hopes on form. COURAGES LAW (6) hasn’t been able to put it together this season but did show ability as a juvenile and can feature if he recaptures that. Stablemate AFRICAN GALA (7) went close to winning two back and did things wrong last time, but he appears to be racing a little better, while MONTANA MUSCLE (5) is the veteran of the field and has won three times this season, which holds her in good stead. BACK: BROOKLYNGOTCOURAGE (4) – 1 unit (win)
