RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: THE SKY IS THE LIMIT (9) capable mare that did things wrong two starts ago and raced wide last start, but her prior form was excellent. Gets a nice trailing draw here and can fight out the finish. MY HIGH PEAK (5) talented trotter that always gives his best. Drawn well and can race forward and is one of the main chances. FLOATING MOUNTAIN (1) drawn ideally for recent Breeders Crown winning trainer Graeme Whittle and is sure to run an honest race. MIELICKI (8) races well at this track and will be running home late along with NOBLE COUNT (7) a winner two starts ago and found trouble last start. SCAR (2) ALFIE ALWAYS (3) and ROMANTIC NINA (4) have nice draws and should be well placed throughout and must be respected. EARLY SPEED: 2,3,4,5 RATINGS: 9/ 5/ 1/ 8/ 7/ 2/ 3/ 4
