RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HEZA GUN (7) talented trotter that has come back to racing with great zest and despite the wide draw expect a strong showing again. SHAQ THE ANVIL (8) has good ability but can-do things wrong. A winner three starts ago and wasn’t far away against stronger company last start. A major threat. BUSLIN BRODY (5) racing in great form and does have gate speed and can race in a forward position. Can give a mighty sight. STEADY DREAM (2) did things wrong last start but was a winner two starts ago. Drawn well and can run well here. Can make amends.   SUNDAYS SHADOW (4) resumes here and rarely runs a poor race can run well fresh. RIGHT OF REPLY (3) unplaced last start but prior form was solid and is amongst the chances whilst FREE STARR (6) resumes from a very long spell but does have very good ability and can’t be ignored. EARLY SPEED: 2,5 RATINGS: 7/ 8/ 5/ 2/ 4/ 3/ 6
