RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SWEET IDEAL (13) settled in a rearward position and produced a big finish when third (head) behind Surfingmakescents in a mile rate of 1.54.6 at her latest attempt. Considering the final quarter was recorded in a sizzling 27.4 seconds, her run was excellent and she should prove hard to beat despite the poor draw. THE IRON DUKE (12) is a versatile pacer that is ready to win against this class. He has come from a long way back at his past two runner up performances and was a winner in a mile rate of 1.56.3 at Melton on May 17. DANCE AFFAIR (9) has won two of his past four starts and he set up a hectic tempo when fourth behind the smart pacer Storms Collide at his latest attempt. This race is no harder and he is worth thought again. ALWAYS B BLAKEY (10) endured a tough run and had excuses at his latest attempt. His form prior was strong and he is worth another chance. UBETTA KNOT (7) is poorly drawn but his chances will be enhanced if he can get across and find the lead shortly after the start. EARLY SPEED: 7 (possible leader), 3,4 RATINGS: 13/ 9,10,12/ 7/ 4,6,9
