RACE COMMENT
This is the feature of the night the Show Cup for the open class pacers over the short trip. MICKEY OH (12) resumes off the 20m but has showed he has been in the top couple of pacers in the State so with absence of his arch rival this his chance to know take top billing. He will be hoping to step safely as they will run along upfront and make him chase but he is tough and will take plenty of holding out. KEAYANG FITZY (11) has done an amazing job since coming across from the Victoria and that was evident in his latest win so if he can begin better and settle close enough can win. ROCKANDAHARDPLACE (2) will look to ping on top and run them along as that’s when he races best so can figure. Conor Crook has two runners in MAGNETIC TERROR (10) who was a winner two starts back so can figure with a safe getaway. HIGH FLYING HARRY (8) who is having his first local run but did dash home a quick last quarter in a recent trial so keep an eye on the market moves. STEPPING STONES (1) is the best at especially if lobs leaders back.TOP PICK: Mickey Oh (12) he rarely lets you down so happy to go his way.DANGERS: Keayang Fitzy (11) is the danger along with Rockandahardplace (2).ROUGHIE: Stepping Stones (1) sneaky chance at odds.RATINGS: 12-1 2 8 10 11-3 4 5 7 9-6EXOTIC BET: Boxed trifecta 1 2 8 10 11 12 $40 flexi 33.3% - 12-1 2 8 10 11-1 2 8 10 11 $10 flexi 50%LIKELY LEADER: Rockandahardplace will look to work across Stepping Stones early.
