RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: IMPERIAL COMMAND (9) challenging trotter with plenty of ability but does have his share of quirks, including being camera shy with all his high-profile owners. Will be trying to make amends here. DESERT ASSASSIN (3) speedy trotter with good ability and drawn to race on the speed and can run well here. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT (1) consistent trotter drawn well and should be well poised to be in the finish here. Definite chance. MAC FLICK (5) very capable mare that will strip much fitter from her first up run and can make her presence felt. PROMISE DREAM (8) honest trotter that just needs a few breaks to come her way and is amongst the chances. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3 RATINGS: 9/ 3/ 1/ 5/ 8
