RACE COMMENT
Here we have a race for the 55-59 rated pacers. KNOCK OUT (1) was impressive leading throughout at first local outing so will take beating from the pole despite this being tougher. KEEPERS IDEAL (5) is racing well and despite likely having to face the breeze will be in the finish. PUNTARNO STRIDE (4) is the value play as is racing well so can figure as can SOUTHPAW SLUGGER (6) who has won three of his last five. COLBY SANZ (7), IDEN BLACK PRINCE (10) and COOLANDCOLLECT (11) are a trio to include for the wider exotic placings.TOP PICK: Knock Out (1) is the one to beat from the pole.DANGERS: Puntarno Stride (4) is the danger along with Keepers Ideal (5).ROUGHIE: Iden Black Prince (10) wouldn’t shock.RATINGS: 1-4 5 6-7 10 11- 2 3 8 9 12EXOTIC BET: Trifecta 1 4-1 4 5 6 10 11-1 4 5 6 10 11 $30 flexi 75%LIKELY LEADER: Knock Out should be holding up early.
