RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FLING IT RAINBOW (1) is a speedy trotter that gets a favourable draw and looks suited over the distance and can give a big sight, ALDEBARAN BROOKE (8) is capable trotter that gets a nice trailing draw and can run well and is one of the main chances. The 3yo’s TUNBRIDGE (2) and KEAYANG GYPSY (3) have raced against stronger opposition and might find this more to their liking and could be big improvers here. Don’t dismiss. The other front line drawn runners MY HIGH PEAK (4) DESERT ASSASSIN (5) PERFIDIOUS SUE (6) and HERE COMES KYVALLEY (7) all have good ability and must be respected in a very open race where most runners have winning claims. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3,4 RATINGS: 1/ 8/ 2/ 4/ 3/ 5/ 6/ 7
