RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MIDNIGHT PIRATE (7) couldn’t have drawn more awkwardly but it will make him a more backable price. COURTNEY KATARINA (1) led last week so it will be interesting to see if Connor Clarke holds up behind her or takes luck out of the equation. However, he is good enough to make his own luck. KARUMA KEV (9) has been beaten at odds-on his last two but has not been disgraced and is clearly the other main player. Nearly everything else could place and they include RED HOT MIKI (11), MARIAHS SHADOW (2), APOLOGY ACCEPTED (10), HESASTAR (6), COURTNEY KATARINA (1), TO THE NINES (8), LILBITAHENRYTEE (3), BETTER BLUE BOYS (5) and HES A MODERN BOY (4). EARLY SPEED: 1 (Leader?), 2, 3, 4, 5? RATINGS: 7 / 9 / 11 / 2 / 10 / 6 / 1 / 8 / 3 / 5 / 4 / 12
