RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HITTHEROADJACK (6) is a fast beginner and will relish the sprint trip and looks suited here. Might take some catching in this. TALLARAS SHADOW (8) disappointed last start having enjoyed a dream trip and failed to finish off.  Easier here and gets another chance. CHEERSTOLOU (1) hasn’t been far away  and drawn to enjoy a box seat trip and will get every chance. MY LITTLE BO (5) is always in the mix of chances and must be respected whilst TOPSIES BLING (10) BANKSOFTHEMURRAY (11) and TARA VICTORY (12) will be running on late and with suitable trips must be included. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,6 RATINGS: 6/ 8/ 1/ 5/ 10/ 11/ 12
