RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MONSIEUR FLAMEL (5) will appreciate a drop back in class on his recent performances and he has the early speed to be prominent throughout. He attempted unsuccessfully to find the lead early and eventually gained cover when a creditable fourth at Kilmore last outing. BRONSKI ROYAL (9) hasn’t won a race since May 2022 but he has dropped back into a workable grade and he ran a game second behind Anakin at Kilmore at his latest attempt. DEUCE COUPE (10) possesses a powerful finishing burst and did well in a slick final quarter of 27.3 seconds to pick up second at Melton last outing. He places more often than he wins but he should be hitting the line strongly again. BLACK TUXEDO (1) and FRANCESCO (4) are both capable of showing up without surprising. EARLY SPEED: 5 (likely leader), 1,4 RATINGS: 5/ 9,10/ 1,4/ 11
