RACE COMMENT
This is the feature The Beautide with the winner gaining a run in the Eureka in a few weeks. FIGHTER COMMAND (12) has a mortgage on the race despite drawing out the back. He demolished a similar field in last year’s edition and should be doing the same as it’s not as strong. CUZZY BRO (6) was dominant winning the Raider Stakes so if can get cover into the race looks the exacta player. SWIATEK LEIS (2) has hit form at the right time and has the draw to be on pace so can place. BARBARY TALES (1) is rising in grade but if takes cover early is capable of holding on for a place. BETTABLACK TIGER (8), HAZEWILLREV (9) and VINCENZO (10) are a trio to include for the wider exotic placings.RATINGS: 12-6-2-8LIKELY LEADER: Barbary Tales can hold early but I envisage Fighter Command come early and take the lead away.
