RACE COMMENT
This is the open class race of the night the Metropolitan Cup. WATERMELON SUGAR (6) has been a revelation of late and despite drawing wide will be a major player. JUST TIGER (2) will be fitter for his first up run and draws nicely so will figure as will STAR MAJOR (9) who will be fitter for his first up run and is suited by the longer trip. STEPPING STONES (4), BLITZERN (7) and THE SHALLOWS (8) are a trio to include for the exotics.RATINGS: 9-3-6-8LIKELY LEADER: Angus Indiana and Just Tiger will look to push forward early.
