RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: There are several fast beginners drawn on the front line and a hectic early tempo might suit CAPTAIN MAASTRICHT (11). He is a short course specialist, likes a genuine speed throughout and has been in the peak of form so he is worth a ticket each way. BIZZNESS CLASS (10) finished off solidly from a rearward position when a close second in a race of similar standard last week so he is also capable of showing up without surprising. The battle for the early lead will be a key ingredient to the result with HEZ HARRYWHO (2), EMILY VINCENT (4), NAKULA (5) and TALLULAH LEE (6) all having a preference of being on the pace. NAKULA (5) is strong and may find the lead eventually so she appears to be one of the leading chances. THE IRON DUKE (7) has a tough alley to overcome but he will find this assignment to be easier than his latest fifth in the Gordon Rothacker Memorial Championship Final. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 2,4,6 RATINGS: 5,10,11/ 6,7/ 4/ 2/ FIELD
