RACE COMMENT
This is for the 47-52 rated pacers and brings an even field together. WATCH IT HAPPEN (3) continues to hold his form and gets a good draw so looks to get his chance to get back into the winners list. KEAYANG KEVIN (1) will be looking to take use of his draw so has to be kept safe. HAY MIKI (2) had every chance last week and this is slightly stronger so will have to improve to win. LAID BACK KENNY (9) was a good winner last week and had a good trailing draw so has to be included. GRINNING AGAIN (6), ALBERIO (8) and GOTTAHAVEAHOBBIE (10) are a trio to include for the wider exotic placings.TOP PICK: Watch it Happen (3) is the one they have to beat.DANGERS: Keayang Kevin (1) is the danger along with Laid Back Kenny (9).ROUGHIE: Gottahaveahobbie (10) is the best at odds.RATINGS: 3-1 2 9-6 8 10 11-4 5 7EXOTIC BET: Trifecta 3-1 2 6 8 9 10-1 2 6 8 9 10 $30 flexi 100%LIKELY LEADER: Keayang Kevin will be looking to hold up but will get tested.
