RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MORE WANTED (4) is racing consistently and deserves to break through for a win. He began quickly and ended up being behind the leader when second behind the smart trotter Harold Smith last outing so he is capable of going one better here. EL RESAMO (5) led and finished fourth in the race won by Harold Smith then followed with an unplaced run last week. He is a bold front running trotter, which will take catching if he can find the top. ILLAWONG STARDUST (6) ran a sharper race when she made ground via the sprint lane last week and rates as a value hope. ILLAWONG LARAJAY (7) is usually competitive against this class and GRUMPEE (8) performed well after breaking stride in the score up and chasing hard in the early stages at his latest fifth. EARLY SPEED: 5 (likely leader), 4,6,7 RATINGS: 4,5/ 6,7/ 3,8/ 1,2
