RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LIKABLE ROGUE (7) has been in amazing form having won his past four starts. He finished off strongly to win last start and will need to do the same here from a wide draw. In form and can run well again despite the challenging draw. SOMEJOYFUL (8) didn’t enjoy the best of luck last start and finished off strongly late. Drawn to follow speed and just needs to find an opening late to be storming home late. HURRIKANE DUSTY (1) going well and does have early speed and drawn ideally. Can give a big sight. SENNA STORM (11) nice win last start but faces a tough draw to overcome here. Chance again. BUS STOP (4) can begin well and race handy and is amongst the chances. WICHITA KANSAS (5) resumes here and does have ability. Has trialled nicely for a first up showing. FLYING SPARKS (10) resumes with four trials leading into this and is very capable if right, for a first up showing? PICTURE US ROLLIN (6) lightly raced, going well but faces a tricky draw. JILLIBY TYPHOON (9) MR TEDDY (2) and YANKEE GAMBLER (3) are never far away and are amongst the place and first four chances. EARLY SPEED: 1,4 RATINGS: 7/ 8/ 1/ 11/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 10/ 9/ 2/ 3
