RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: THE HIGHLIGHT REEL (7) was resuming since a third behind Path To Greatness in the Nutrien Classic in April. He is an outstanding colt, which has won six of his eleven starts and is clearly the horse to beat again. LOOK LIKE DIAMONDS (10) endured a wide trip but proved too strong in the run to the finish when she scored in a slick mile rate of 1.55.0 at her latest attempt. She gets into this race nicely with a concession claim and should prove hard to beat again. OZZIE PUNTA (5) should be nearing his peak form after having two starts back from a break and he ran a much sharper race after setting the speed when a close up fourth behind Fox Dan last outing. He is a tough type and is not without a chance. PLAINS IN HEAVEN (2) sustained a long run and proved too strong at Melton last week. This is a race of more depth but he is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 7 (likely leader), 1,2,5 RATINGS: 7/ 5,10/ 2/ 9/ 1,8
