Race comment
OVERVIEW: A standing start for the trotters here over the middle distance, which often makes it difficult for the backmarkers. However, the front-row brigade isn’t going all that well. STRAIGHT TO THETOP (7) loves the standing-start conditions and was a winner at this track and distance, from the same handicap, back in August against a similar line-up. She turned in a good run last week behind a smart one, and with the right run in transit can be strong late. KENNYS SON (9) is off a 30m handicap, but in his favour are sound standing-start manners and a win at this track. He was a winner here under mobile conditions two back, but the concern is that he broke in running either side of that. WATCH AND ACT (8) is the most reliable under these conditions, with 10 of his 14 wins coming from the tapes. He hasn’t won in 20 tries this season, however, but his manners will carry him a long way. KYVALLEY MISTY (3) gets the front-row advantage and has been okay from the stand in the past, but her run last start at Melton was not up to scratch. She was a winner in an easier race three back and gets Alford, so she’s worth keeping safe if you can overlook her last start. MASSIF CENTRAL (4) has only had the one standing start and, although beaten a long way, was quick away from the tapes. He’s a horse who likes to lead, but normally over the mile. He’s winless from 33 attempts at this distance but has place claims. BACK: STRAIGHT TO THETOP (7) – 2 units (win)

Race comment
OVERVIEW: A standing start for the trotters here over the middle distance, which often makes it difficult for the backmarkers. However, the front-row brigade isn’t going all that well. STRAIGHT TO THETOP (7) loves the standing-start conditions and was a winner at this track and distance, from the same handicap, back in August against a similar line-up. She turned in a good run last week behind a smart one, and with the right run in transit can be strong late. KENNYS SON (9) is off a 30m handicap, but in his favour are sound standing-start manners and a win at this track. He was a winner here under mobile conditions two back, but the concern is that he broke in running either side of that. WATCH AND ACT (8) is the most reliable under these conditions, with 10 of his 14 wins coming from the tapes. He hasn’t won in 20 tries this season, however, but his manners will carry him a long way. KYVALLEY MISTY (3) gets the front-row advantage and has been okay from the stand in the past, but her run last start at Melton was not up to scratch. She was a winner in an easier race three back and gets Alford, so she’s worth keeping safe if you can overlook her last start. MASSIF CENTRAL (4) has only had the one standing start and, although beaten a long way, was quick away from the tapes. He’s a horse who likes to lead, but normally over the mile. He’s winless from 33 attempts at this distance but has place claims. BACK: STRAIGHT TO THETOP (7) – 2 units (win)

Race comment
OVERVIEW: A standing start for the trotters here over the middle distance, which often makes it difficult for the backmarkers. However, the front-row brigade isn’t going all that well. STRAIGHT TO THETOP (7) loves the standing-start conditions and was a winner at this track and distance, from the same handicap, back in August against a similar line-up. She turned in a good run last week behind a smart one, and with the right run in transit can be strong late. KENNYS SON (9) is off a 30m handicap, but in his favour are sound standing-start manners and a win at this track. He was a winner here under mobile conditions two back, but the concern is that he broke in running either side of that. WATCH AND ACT (8) is the most reliable under these conditions, with 10 of his 14 wins coming from the tapes. He hasn’t won in 20 tries this season, however, but his manners will carry him a long way. KYVALLEY MISTY (3) gets the front-row advantage and has been okay from the stand in the past, but her run last start at Melton was not up to scratch. She was a winner in an easier race three back and gets Alford, so she’s worth keeping safe if you can overlook her last start. MASSIF CENTRAL (4) has only had the one standing start and, although beaten a long way, was quick away from the tapes. He’s a horse who likes to lead, but normally over the mile. He’s winless from 33 attempts at this distance but has place claims. BACK: STRAIGHT TO THETOP (7) – 2 units (win)

Race comment
OVERVIEW: A standing start for the trotters here over the middle distance, which often makes it difficult for the backmarkers. However, the front-row brigade isn’t going all that well. STRAIGHT TO THETOP (7) loves the standing-start conditions and was a winner at this track and distance, from the same handicap, back in August against a similar line-up. She turned in a good run last week behind a smart one, and with the right run in transit can be strong late. KENNYS SON (9) is off a 30m handicap, but in his favour are sound standing-start manners and a win at this track. He was a winner here under mobile conditions two back, but the concern is that he broke in running either side of that. WATCH AND ACT (8) is the most reliable under these conditions, with 10 of his 14 wins coming from the tapes. He hasn’t won in 20 tries this season, however, but his manners will carry him a long way. KYVALLEY MISTY (3) gets the front-row advantage and has been okay from the stand in the past, but her run last start at Melton was not up to scratch. She was a winner in an easier race three back and gets Alford, so she’s worth keeping safe if you can overlook her last start. MASSIF CENTRAL (4) has only had the one standing start and, although beaten a long way, was quick away from the tapes. He’s a horse who likes to lead, but normally over the mile. He’s winless from 33 attempts at this distance but has place claims. BACK: STRAIGHT TO THETOP (7) – 2 units (win)
