RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: TENMINUTES (4) was resuming since August when he was held up for a run over the latter stages and finished an unlucky seventh in a heat of the Home Grown Classic at Melton. He should be fitter and this is a much easier assignment so he must be respected. FRUGAL FARE (3) is resuming since July but he has the ability to figure in the finish. He has been placed in three trials with the latest being a third behind the subsequent Gunbower Cup winner Western Sonador, which is a good form reference for this event. ART IDEAL (5) drew poorly and had excuses at his first run since August. He has ability and should be competitive under these conditions. HESAA LISTER (7) missed out narrowly last week and he has been placed in three of his past four starts against similar grade so he warrants consideration.  EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 5 RATINGS: 3,4/ 5/ 7/ 6,10
